The Kebbi State Police Command has revealed that the bandits that kidnapped students and teachers of Government Federal College Yauri used a vehicle belonging to the state High Court judge.
The Command’s spokesperson, Nafi’u Abubakar in a statement on Friday said the bandits had earlier hijacked the vehicle along Kebbi- Yauri road.
