Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last election, has called for the step-up
of security around schools in the vulnerable areas in the insurgency prone
region in Nigeria
Atiku said this while reacting to the release of 333
students of GSS, Kankara.
Recall that Boko Haram leader, Shekau had claimed
responsibility for the abduction.
Shekau mentioned that the boys were kidnapped from school to
discourage western education and promote Islam.
The students on Friday returned to Katsina State after the
Nigerian army secured their release from their abductors.
Reacting to their release, Atiku on his Twitter account
congratulated everyone who was on their toes to ensure the release of the
students.
Atiku tweeted: “I am happy about reports that abducted schoolboys
of GSSS Kankara, Katsina State have been rescued.
“As a father, I know how much joy it will bring to the
traumatised parents who have practically kept vigil in the school premises.
“I congratulate all those who were involved in the rescue
operation.
“Security must be stepped up around schools in the
vulnerable areas in the insurgency prone region.”
