The students, who were lodged at the State Government House, Makurdi said they escaped the attack on Mubi through “divine intervention”.
One of them, who identified himself as Terna, a 200 Level Business Administration student, told Punch that they spent two nights in the bush while trying to find their way to Maiha Local Government Area, the closest area to Mubi.
He said, “Only God knows how many kilometers we walked through the bush and mountains in two days.
“We had to leave some of our school mates in Katsina Ala Local Government Area for treatment while some of us were brought in here.”
Terna, who thanked the state government for the prompt response urged it to rescue other missing students.
He said, “Frankly speaking, we are over 200 from Benue State in that university and as you can see, we are just 17 here with few other weak ones in the hospital receiving treatment and I appeal that a search party be urgently instituted to know the whereabouts of the others.
