Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), has taken a decisive step in the fight against insecurity by approving the recruitment of 20 vigilantes to be deployed strategically in various off-campus locations.<\/p>\n

Professor Abdullahi Modibbo, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of NSUK, stated in a recent interview with newsmen that the university is determined to curb the menace of kidnapping and ensure the safety of both staff and students.<\/p>\n

\u201cKidnapping is a source of concern to the management of the institution, even though we know it is a national problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those on campus, we don\u2019t have much problem because we are working in collaboration with Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those off campus, we have approved the recruitment of 20 vigilantes that will be strategically trained to do their job in various nooks and crannies of the various off-campus locations. This is one of the efforts we are making to ensure the security of staff and students,\u201d Modibo said.<\/p>\n

Kidnappers recently abducted some students and lecturers of the institution and released them only after ransoms were paid.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, Dr Monica Adokwe, a lecturer in the Faculty of Administration at the university, regained her freedom after an undisclosed amount was paid to her abductors.<\/p>\n
