Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos 

Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity has apologised over his claim that only 10 students were abducted in the attack of Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State last week.

In a post on his social media handles, Shehu said the information was given to him by persons that should know the actual figures.

He said "I apologize for the incorrect communication citing that only 10 students were kidnapped at the science school, Kankara".

"This communication of numbers was provided by persons that should ideally know. These numbers were seen to conflict with what was available at that time".  

"Please understand that this communication was in no way done to downplay the seriousness of the situation".

"Please accept my sincere apologies on this matter as we continue to move our great Nation Nigeria forward. Thank you".

A shameless liar, they always lie

In a saner clime, he would have been sacked or resign

Apology accepted.... Next time check and cross check information before dissemination to the public. You of all people should know. You don tey for the game nah...

Apologies accepted because he didn't use the apology to play politics.

In the heat of deflecting and defending the indefensible, he forgot to cross check the fact, the very first thing he should do.

I hope their supporters extend such grace to those banding different figures on the alleged Lekki shootings.

He didnt act his script well

Even the lives of 10 kids shouldn't be trivialized with "ONLY"

If you believe any of these Gentlemen; Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina, Sanwo-Olu, PMB and Oga Lai.

You seriously need a brain check up.

This is someone who should be speaking for the president. That means most of his statements are not from Mr president.

We truly do not have a president

Naso

Police said no one was abducted

Abike dabiri on her verified twitter page claim the boys have been released only to deny it on the same page

Fellow Nigerians, Myetti Allah are more than mere cattle herders & owners, they are your Government, believe it or not. They did what Governor of a state and our trained military couldn't do.


Fellow Nigerians, the question is, what kind of favour will the FG return Myetti Allah for the rescue mission?.. Your guess is as good as mine.

Nigerians, won ti get gbogbo yin.

kiss the truth!

Though belated, apologies accepted

Next time we won't take you serious.

But in your mind, you knew the apology was part of the plans and it worked

All Islamic Taqiya

Southerners still don't know the grand scheme happening (make una dey appease abdools)

The North don't want development in the country again they have chosen to grand everything to 7th century.

They are concentrating the monies to "buy arms for Boko Haram, pay rasomes, do Ruga, bomb north and rehabilitate it.

Is the Lai Fake news fine not applicable here again?
Bunch of hypocrites.

Even the legendary liar Lai Mohammed can not do any damage control for Garba Shehu in this case.The guy & Abike Dabiri were so quick to spin the narrative but seems to lost coordination with other script writers of this poorly executed Kankara School boys kidnap.God is watch all of una.

Stupid man. Once there is backlash on Buhari they start a lying competition among themselves to see who can impress Buhari the most in calming nerves.
