Following threats by abductors of the Greenfield University
students to kill the remaining 17 students, if ransom is not paid immediately,
Senator Shehu Sani on Tuesday urged the government to immediately rescue them.
In a statement he made available in Abuja, the
ex-lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial district, lamented that
the situation has reached a condemnable level that governments can’t rescue its
citizens.
He said: “The abduction of Students of the Greenfield
University that follows the kidnapping of the students of the Federal College
of Forestry Mechanization is a condemnable and dangerous dimension to the
apparent paralysis of security in Kaduna State and the North West.
He added that Nigerians must not live to see corpse of the
abducted students dumped on the corridors to be picked for burial, given that
abductors have been very brutal.
“The Federal and Kaduna State Governments must not take
lightly the threats by the bandits to callously harm these helpless students on
the expiration of their dateline.
Shehu Sani condemned Kaduna State government for ruling out
ransom option, but did nothing to rescue the abductees.
“If the payment of ransom is not the solution why has our
security forces still unable to detect the whereabouts of the students and free
them for this long. Doing nothing is dangerous.
“When you have a helpless people and a helpless Government
then the nation is hopeless.
“Our tears will be needless for a tragedy we could have
avoided.
“We must not wait for Bandits to throw the corpses of our 17
children on our doorsteps.
“We cannot claim to be fasting in a Holy month and
helplessly watch the slaughter of our Children.
“If the Government has a better solution to freeing the
kidnapped students other than the one embarked upon by the parents of the
students, let it be put to work immediately.
“Kidnappers are holding the Balls of the Government and the
groins of our country, getting out of it, by all means, is what matters.
“The clock ticks for the lives of the students and for the
honor of the Government.
“If we fail to provide for the new generation, we must not
fail to protect them.
“We have become a country in perpetual state of funerals and
mourning. In the North these days, our nights are darkness tragedies, our
mornings are daylights of sorrows,” the statement concluded.
