Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara state, says Jangebe
schoolgirls revealed that the watchman of the school was involved in their
abduction.
Matawalle said this on Wednesday when he featured on
Politics Today, a Channels Television programme.
Over 270 schoolgirls were abducted from Government Girls
Secondary School, Jangebe in Talata-Mafara LGA of Zamfara in February.
They were released on Tuesday.
Asked to reveal the identities of the abductors, the
governor said bandits the named the watchman of the school as the facilitator
of the abduction.
Matawalle said an investigation will be carried out, but he did
not reveal the identities of other abductors.
“…Even the watchman of the school…. The children have
mentioned that when they were there; after releasing them, the bandits were
telling them (the schoolgirls) to greet the watchman for them,” he said.
“They even mentioned his name that he is the one who gave
them the go-ahead to come, so he was involved.
“They have said this in front of the commissioner of police
in Zamfara state. Investigation will be carried out and all people involved will
be known.”
Reacting to the no-fly zone order issued by President
Muhammadu Buhari, the governor said he has accepted the decision of the
president, but added that he should have been consulted before the decision was
taken.
“I thought the security council should invite me so that I
can come inform them and give them more information that can help them to do
whatever they want to do,” he said.
