Gunmen raid Kogi varsity, abduct students

Bandits invaded Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTEC) in Osara, Okene, Nigeria, and abducted some students. The bandits entered the university through the bush, entered three lecture halls, and began shooting into the air. They trapped students inside the halls and started taking them, causing confusion and fear among students in other halls. Local security guards and conventional security men attempted to engage the bandits, but they minimized damage. The students were preparing for their first semester examination on May 13. CUSTEC Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abdulraman Asipita, confirmed the incident but declined to provide details.
