President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is happy to know that the abducted students of Government Science College in Kagara, Niger State have been released.

He welcome the students’ release, commending the nation’s security and intelligence agencies and the government of Niger State for their responses in securing the release.

The President however, warned that the country will not continue to suffer the attacks that threaten the growth of education, the security and life of the future leaders at the same time putting the nation in a negative light.

He also reiterated his earlier advice to school owners, particularly the state and local governments, and religious organisations to scale up security around their schools.

Buhari also greatly sympathised with the staff and the students, their parents and friends on this ordeal.

He, however, warned that the country would not continue to suffer these attacks that threaten the growth of education, the security and life of the future leaders at the same time putting the nation in a negative light.

The president reiterated his earlier advice to school owners, particularly the state and local governments as well as religious organisations to scale up security around their schools.

He said this should be in line with the standards laid down by the UN-backed Safe School Programme of the administration.

Buhari once again condemned the school abductions, with latest one at the Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in Zamfara.

According to him, he has since directed all security and intelligence agencies in the country to hunt down the culprits and bring them to justice.

Also, Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State, has confirmed the release of the twenty-seven students, kidnapped by gunmen from Government Science secondary school, Kagara on February seventeen.

According to him, the students were released along with fifteen others.

He says the abducted Students, Staff and Relatives of the government collage have regained their freedom and have been received by government.

Their release comes just a day after a separate raid on a school in Zamfara state where gunmen seized three hundred and seventeen girls.

Kidnappings for ransom by armed groups, many of whom carry guns and ride motorcycles, are common across many northern Nigerian states.

Parents of the abducted students have commended the State Government for securing the release of the students and other victims.
