Shehu Sani, the Senator who represented the Kaduna Central during the 8th National Assembly, has also confirmed that the attack took place.

He sated this on his verified Twitter handle.

“The fresh report that Bandits have attacked and kidnapped many students at the Greenfield University along Kaduna-Abuja road is yet another tragedy.

“Proprietors of schools within this axis need to read the signs. Even most of us have abandoned our farms to the care of God,” he said.
