The Police in Nasarawa state has denied reports claiming students from St. Peters Foundation Secondary School in Nasarawa State were abducted today November 21. Reportswere rife online earlier today claiming some bandits had stormed the school and abducted the students.However in a statement received, the spokesperson of the command, SP Ramhan Nansel, students of the school engaging in sporting activities, became petrified after spotting hunters with their dane guns around the school. He said the pupils panicked and feared that the hunters were abductors. The Nasarawa State Police Commands attention has been drawn to a report circulating across social media platforms and some news outlets alleging that kidnappers invaded St. Peters Academy, Rukubi, in Doma Local Government Area, and abducted two pupils. The Command wishes to state unequivocally that the report is false and does not reflect the true state of affairs. On 21/11/2025 at about 1000hrs, an unverified report filtered in alleging that two pupils of St. Peters Academy were abducted while engaging in sporting activities on the school field. In response, the Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima Jauro Mohammed, promptly deployed a combined team of Police operatives and military personnel stationed within the general area to the scene. Upon arrival, it was discovered that the pupils had sighted some hunters carrying Dane guns and, out of fear, fled, mistaking them for kidnappers. The area was thoroughly combed, and normalcy was immediately restored. The proprietor of the school was also interviewed and confirmed to the operatives that the alarm raised was a false one. The general area continues to be closely monitored to forestall any breach of security. The Command therefore urges members of the public to disregard the circulating report as mere rumour unworthy of publication as factual news. Journalists and media outlets are further advised to always verify information before publication in order to avoid misleading the public.
