EXPRESSING OUTRAGE ON KANKARA SCHOOL KIDNAP, NEC PROFFERS HOW TO AVOID FUTURE ABDUCTIONS


The National Economic Council, NEC, has expressed outrage at the kidnap of school boys from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, proffering possible means by which future abductions can be stopped.

The National Economic Council chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo also expressed worries over the second wave of coronavirus in Nigeria, calling for strict enforcement of measures to contain the spread of the disease across the country.

In a statement by Laolu Akande, the spokesperson to Prof Osinbajo, NEC described the abduction as a “despicable act” as it called for cooperation to stop a repeat action.

“NEC expressed outrage on the kidnapping of the boys in their school premises and utterly condemned the brazen act of the abductors as not only criminal and lawless but a deliberate attempt to sow seeds of fear in people,” the statement said.

“The members while supporting immediate steps already taken by the Federal and State governments to rescue the boys, urged for more effective collaboration between security agencies and the communities to ensure that such despicable act does not repeat itself anywhere in the country,” the statement added.

It would be recalled that on Thursday night, the kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State were safely returned to their families.

On COVID-19, NEC said it is alarmed that the current trends are now approaching or surpassing the levels reached during the lockdown imposed at the height of the epidemic earlier in the year.

“The country is now experiencing a huge resurgence of COVID-19 patients needing intensive care and the existing health facilities are fast becoming overwhelmed,” NEC noted.

The virtual NEC meeting was attended by State Governors, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and other federal ministers.

hmmm ok

We should learn from these travails; strengthen our security by recruitment and kick start of community policing operation to curb the insecurity in the country

Thank God that the kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina
State were safely returned to their families.

Looking at the resent kidnapping in Kankara Katsina, I see the enemies of Nigeria at work. Thank God the students are back now.

We God Thanks for returning back the kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina


Thanks to this great administration

We need cooperation between the security forces and the communities. There are too many things that are not right and I like the fact that the VP is saying it again.

There aim is to creat fear in the mind of people. There should be collaboration / joint task force in the region especially in sensitive places.
Congratulations to the families and kudos to our government

NEC is right by stating that better coordination between security agencies is the way forward. Another important method is the taking of security issues seriously on a clan and village affair, to prevent these places from being used as hide outs

We thank God that this boys were able to be delivered from the hands of the wicked soul

Our security agencies need to step up their game to avoid future happenings

Now is the time for our security operatives/armed forces to brace up to the challenge of been proactive. Being reactive won't bring a permanent solution
