Bandits suspected to be Fulani herdsmen are alleged to have been involved in the kidnap of an unspecified number of students of Abia State University Uturu (ABSU). Two of the victims are said to be medical students.

The abductors were reported to have contacted the families of the students and demanded N2m on each of their victims.

The incident was confirmed by the management of the institution.

A release by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the university, said the incident took place around 8:00 pm on Thursday.

The kidnap of the ABSU students was to have been happened along the Okigwe/Uturu road when the bus they were travelling with other passengers was ambushed by the bandits.

The release while assuring that efforts were being intensified to secure the release of the affected students, advised students to avoid night travels.

A student who spoke over the incident said it was unfortunate that despite the countless number of security checkpoints on the five-kilometre Uturu/Okigwe Road, kidnappers are still having a field day in the area.

Meanwhile, Ugochukwu Favour- Mayor, producer of   the controversial Nollywood movie,The Priest’s War, otherwise known as ‘The Cathedral’, which caught the attention of the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, has revealed why he made the movie, saying “it’s a true life story that needs to be documented.”

The movie according to him followed the power tussle in the Ahiara Diocese.
