Sokoto State Government and Gamji College of Health Technology deny reports claiming that 18 students of the school were abducted while travelling from Sokoto to Oyo State. The college also says none of its students was kidnapped, while the government describes the allegations as false.
The outlets report that the denial is contained in a statement issued on Monday by the Sokoto government’s media and publicity office. Premium Times focuses on the college’s denial, while Vanguard and Daily Post emphasize the government’s rebuttal. The Punch presents both the government and the college denying the same claim. Across all accounts, there is no confirmed information in the reports about an abduction occurring; instead, the emphasis is on the rejection of the earlier report.
