President Muhammadu Buhari Monday directed the military, police and intelligence agencies to ensure safe and early release of all kidnapped victims, expressing concern over attacks on Kaduna and Niger States, largely targeted at students, Newspremises reports.

President Buhari's Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Garba Shehu made this known in a statement on Monday, 5th of July 2021.

While noting ongoing deployment of additional security personnel to all troubled areas, the President urged security outfits to “act swiftly” to rescue all school boys and girls in the affected states and ensure safe return.

President Buhari said the disturbing incidents of kidnapping students, mostly in Northern states, was already threatening to undermine efforts in boosting school enrolments in states that were adjudged educationally backward.

He called on state governments to ensure compliance with UN-supported Safe Schools Programme, which the administration had adopted.

The President described kidnapping as cowardly and despicable, condemning it as an assault on affected families and the nation.

So after ensuring the quick release via huge ransom payment, the untouchable Bandits will continue their abduction mission on other targets...is that a healthy trend? I don't know Buhari hasn't used this his language therapy to treat bandits/killer herdsmen in the language they understand. Maybe that special language course is an elective course and he decides who takes the course.
