Zamfara varsity advises students to relocate from insecured off-campus residences
In response to heightened insecurity, Federal University, Gusau, has issued a warning to students residing off-campus in the outskirts of Gusau.
The university has urged these students to consider relocating to the more secure areas of Gusau metropolis or Sabon Gida, where armed security personnel are stationed.
This advisory comes on the heels of the recent kidnapping incident that occurred on Saturday, involving four students from their off-campus residence in Damba.
Fortunately, all four students have been rescued by the efforts of Operation Hadarin Daji and Metro Joint Patrol (Eagle Eye) troops.
