Gate.

Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) in Kogi has initiated a three-day mourning period following the tragic loss of two students to kidnappers. 

Registrar Olufunke Hudson conveyed this somber announcement in a statement released on Sunday.

The victims, identified as James Michael-Anajuwe and Musa Hussein, were both first-year students studying Information Technology and Software Engineering, respectively. 

They were among the group of students abducted on May 9 while preparing for their upcoming examinations scheduled to commence on May 13.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of security operatives and local hunters, twenty-one students have been successfully rescued from captivity.

Ms Hudson said, “It is with deep shock and pain that the management of CUSTECH is mourning our beloved slain students. Consequently, all activities in the university are to be held low-key from May 27 to May 29 in memory of our departed students.”

The registrar said the university management shared in the grief of the families and colleagues of the deceased students. She urged the parents, other family members, guardians, friends and well-wishers of the deceased students to take solace in God.

According to her, the state government is intensifying efforts to ensure the safe rescue of the remaining students from their abductors.

“Governor Usman Ododo is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the students are released safely. We, therefore, urge everyone to remain calm and maintain the peace the state is enjoying,” said the statement.
