Seven students of Ebonyi State College of Health Science and Technology, Ngbo, in the Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, were injured during a robbery attack by suspected gunmen at the school hostel.
Sources said the incident occurred around 1 a.m. on Tuesday as armed men broke into the students’ hostel and robbed them of their belongings.
It was also revealed that the school hostels have no fence or security post, making them porous for criminals to invade.
The spokesperson of the Ebonyi Police Command, Joshua Ukandu, in a phone call, said that upon receiving the information of the attack, operatives were mobilised immediately to track down the perpetrators.
Upon arriving at the scene, the criminals had escaped into the bush. Ukandu added that the police are actively trailing the criminals to apprehend them and recover stolen items.
Meanwhile, the injured students are receiving medical treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
At the time of filing this report, the school authorities are yet to issue any official statement regarding the attack.
