An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said two other person who were shot are currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

 

According to him, the Pioneer Provost of College of Education Technical Kabba, Chief J.O.T Oshadumo and one other were kidnapped, while his wife and some students sustained gun shot wounds.

 

The Chairman of Kabba-Bunu Local Government, Moses Olorunleke who confirmed this said details of the attack would be made public soon.
