“We are not happy at all here. It is a sad event. The department had some members of the dental association who visited the school but were lodged in a hotel in Zaria.
“We understand they travelled to Zaria, where they had a brief meeting that Sunday. And on their way back to Makarfi, they were kidnapped.”
Rahama said the kidnappers took the three lecturers in their cars and left the director’s car at a junction close to Makarfi town.
He said the police in Makarfi were in custody of the director’s car.
Calls made to the Kaduna State police spokes-person were unanswered at press time.
