Shehu Sani, former Senator representing Kaduna North, has reacted to the bandit attack on a school in the state, which resulted to the abduction of 287 students.
It would be recalled that a total of 287 students from the LEA Primary and Secondary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, were kidnapped on Thursdaywhen bandits attacked the school premises.
This was made known in an update given by the Head Teacher, Sani Abdullahi, who narrated the incident when Governor Uba Sani led senior government officials and top security brass to the Kuriga Village Head’s palace.
Reacting to the development in a post via his official X handle on Thursday afternoon, Sani described the abduction of the students as tragic and depressing.
The former lawmaker, however, stated that he is optimistic their freedom will be secured.
He wrote: It’s tragic to hear that 232 students have just been kidnapped in Kuriga village, Chikun Lg in Kaduna State. It’s the same village where a school principal, Idris Sufyan was killed and his wife kidnapped over a month ago. However, I’m optimistic their freedom will be secured.”
Meanwhile, Governor Sani has vowed that all efforts would be put in place to ensure the students return home safely.
The Governor disclosed that he had already spoken with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, on the matter, and the security forces have swung into action to rescue the victims from their attackers.
