A colleague, who teaches at the Economics department of the University, said the abducted lecturer was the prime target of the attack.

“One of our colleagues have gone to sympathize with the family. I’m in touch with him and what he told me gave the impression that Dr was the reason they were there,” the source, who asked not to be named because of fear over his own safety, said.

“When they came on motorcycles, some of them got down and commanded those sitting to surrender themselves but most of them disobeyed and started running. Only one bullet was fired and it did not hit and its target. He was sitting, talking on his phone and they took him. The bandits did not bother to pursue those running,” he said.Another staff at the establishment office of the University, who also asked not to be named, said the school authorities have been informed of the abduction.

“Fortunately for the family, when the bandits stormed the area, Dr Abdulmalik’s Junior brother was one of those who ran from the place of the attack. He quickly entered his brother’s residence and took the wife and son away. They’re now safe,” he said.According to him, after searching the house for the family members, the bandits left without taking any property from the house.

Banditry is the code name in the region for organised crimes like kidnapping, cattle rustling, mass abduction, arson and even armed robbery with states in the North-west and a part of the North-central being the worse hits.
