Bandits abducted two farmers and a boy on Wednesday at the Federal University Dutsinma, Katsina State
They were among six farmers working on land in the university when the bandits rode in on 10 motorcycles.
Spokesman of the Katsina State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Buhari Hamisu, told newsmen in Katsina on Thursday that its operatives were able to rescue the three other farmers.
Those rescued are all female, he said.
Hamisu said the NSCDC was collaborating with sister security agencies and members of communities to rescue the abducted and bring the culprits to book.
He said: “The command intends to synergise with the university, with the army and the police to form a joint security team to fortify the institution and its environs from further attacks.”
