They invaded Sabon Gida village in Bungudu and gained entrance into the rented female hostel of the university.
The suspected criminals overpowered the two civilian guards and took their handsets.
They kidnapped two female students of Microbiology Department of the academic institution.
The incident was confirmed by the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Muhammad Shehu.
