The Secretary, Information and Protocol Unit of the Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic, Zaria, Mr Abdullahi Shehu, who narrated how gunmen invaded the institution and kidnapped three people on Saturday told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a telephone interview on Sunday that the victims were abducted from their homes located within the institution.
