The assailants assaulted students, stole numerous mobile phones, and attempted abductions, which were thwarted by the victims’ cries for help.An anonymous eyewitness told Punch, “Around midnight, the attackers stormed the hostel, caused chaos, injured students, and fled with many phones.” Another witness, Tukur Danlami, noted, “The students’ screams alerted nearby residents, who rushed to help, forcing the bandits to flee.
”Two students shared their experiences with Punch on Friday. One recounted, “We heard commotion and saw people running off with phones. It was terrifying.” Yunusa Yaro added, “They stormed our dormitory with weapons, attacked us, and stole phones, but we escaped unharmed.”
State Police Command spokesperson SP Shi’isu Adam confirmed the attack, noting the hostel’s isolated location made it vulnerable.
“Police responded swiftly to a distress call. Two students were seriously injured and treated at Hadejia General Hospital, where they were discharged by Friday evening,” he said.
Adam assured that investigations are underway to apprehend the perpetrators, with increased security around the polytechnic to prevent further attacks.
