“We also thank all Nigerians who prayed fervently for the safe return of the school children. This is indeed a day of joy. We give Almighty Allah all the glory.”
Recall that to match his words with action, Governor Sani directed troops to ensure the safe return of the students.
“The Kaduna State Government and Security Agencies are working round the clock to ensure the safe return of the school children,” Governor Sani wrote on his X account just after the incident.
“I have received strong assurances from the President and National Security Adviser that no stone will be left unturned to bring back the children.”
Authorities did not give the figures for the Kuriga mass kidnapping, but a teacher in the school said 287 persons were abducted.
“At GSS Kuriga, 187 students are presently missing,” Sani Abdullahi told Channels Television. “In the primary school, 125 pupils were initially missing, but, 25 of them escaped and retired home.”
The mass abduction in Kuriga came days after suspected terrorists seized some persons from an internally displaced people (IDP) camp in Borno State.
