GOVERNOR ABUBAKAR SANI BELLO VISITS COLLEGE OF ABDUCTED STUDENTS IN KAGARA

...PROMISES THEIR SAFE RESCUE

Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has paid a visit to Government Science College, Kagara in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State where 27 students and 15 others were abducted by armed bandits.

Governor Sani Bello consoled the family of the student that was killed during the invasion by the bandits while assuring the relatives of the kidnapped victims of their safe return as government is on top of the issue.

"Our priority right away is to get the kidnapped students and 15 others, as well as the NSTA abducted victims unharmed", he said.

He said kidnapping has become a daily occurrence in the state and called on the Federal Government to intensify efforts and employ a new strategy to checkmate the menace.

According to him, payment of Ransome is not part of the state government's policy as obliging to the bandits demands will only but empower them with the resources to purchase more arms.

The Governor added that he was opened to any other form of negotiations including giving a new lease of life to the bandits who chose to abandon their criminal tendencies and embrace positive and humanistic lifestyle.

He expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for the swift response assuring that he would remain constantly in contact with the presidency on the security issues in the state until it is rid of these miscreants.

The Governor directed that the school be secured and rehabilitation work carried out on its structures while the management of the school should keep monitoring the students.

Earlier, Dan'asabe Ubaidu, the principal of the college narrated how the incident occurred to the Governor and the number of students that became victims to the armed bandits.

Ubaidu said that the 15 abducted were staff of the college and their relatives comprising of four male, four female and seven children.

Governor Sani Bello, along with his Deputy, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Ketso, Members of the State Executive Council and high-profiled security officers were part of the visitation.

The College, established in 1969, presently has a total of 650 students.

If only these animals will leave the children out of this madness and face our leaders...... I pray God keeps them safe...... just take a look at a school in 21st century...... God will so deal with our leaders both past and present.

These governors should openly condemn these criminal terrorists and stop thinking they'll get Niger delta money

More Niger Delta oil billions for the herdsmen

Look at how the school is; dilapidated structures. This is one among many reasons that Nigeria is a failed state.

The President should should wake up from his slumber and buffer the security. That Buhari man is unfit to pilot this country. All those zombies cheering even know, but they are shy to admit it publicly.

So babd

Waste of energy...

They should pay as usual

Don't ever negotiate with terrorists , they will keep coming

They just open business for them with those negotiations

Make the mumu governor tell me say e no sabi say na how the school dey messed up b dat before the abduction. The school itself na dungeon which is really a key to making the terrorists called bandits to attack it.

God abeg no dey look us like dis!

We know the format

School gets attacked
The terrorists shoot a skit
The presidency expresses shock
The governor visits
There will be no negotiating with terrorists
The children will be released
Different groups will claim credit
The government will lie no ransom was paid

Meanwhile the terrorists begin to sing Bella Smurda

U see children... Kidnap them
Federal government.... Bill am
Big millions.... Release them
More weapons.... Buy am
New school.... Attack am

See the sham structure called school.

Our leaders are the most heartless and cruel animals prowling the surface of the earth.

As a Youth Corps member serving in Nasarawa state back then in 2011, I was left in shock, the level of neglect and deprivation in government owned secondary school where I served.

I was able to rally peasant farmers and poor parents to donate 10 modern computer sets for better quality education, the government couldn't do anything for their people.

Sad.

RedPanthar:
We now have an established pattern. Out of fear, they pay the kidnappers but it keeps encouraging new gangs to spring up


May God help una o

TERRORISM BUSINESS

An these student are paying school fees I wipe for this country oo

Iam not a security expert but common sense will tell that , the best solution to all this insecurity in most states especially northern staes is to resolve to state policing.

The federal policing system dont work in large countries. Let every state form a police network that will protect their own.

Is this a school? When it is said that government should never negotiate with bandits/terrorists, they said we're enemies of state.Make una continue.

Kai, see what Nigeria calls a school

Forgot All these Pretentious Act
Atiku is Always in a Good Frame of Mind When Things Like This Happens

This governor get mind visit this kind school... Nigeria!!!

these are clearly not kidnappers but terrorists who collect ransom money to buy more weapons and ammunition.

Ak 47 governor come and talk to your people.

See school

No place is secured anymore in my fatherland, it's well oh!

School looking like an abandoned poultry farm. Bunch of useless leaders, do the basics, NO, they won’t.

Oshey baba, bella shmurda will be proud of you. . On a serious note, the government should be ashamed of themselves, I mean they normalise negotiations and paying ransom to terrorists, and they will keep on coming for more and more.

Where was kankara kida released, let them meet those that known associates of bandits/herdsmen/bokoharam... Arrangee northerners

Nigerian terrorists are cowards, they only target defenseless children and the poor. How can you kidnap people traveling in a bus and demand for 50 or 100 million, if they had such money will they be in a bus?
When I saw the video of them pointing guns at poor defenceless women and children I just knew these guys are professional cowards. Go tackle the military with your guns stop targeting poor harmless and defenceless children in schools lazy cowards.

This country is full of much ado.
Is this a science school?
My God, why are our leaders this wicked?

Amotekun - the south west security outfit creation and operation have us clue about what will become every state were to have its state police.

The recent ethnic crisis that happened in shaha area of Oyo state, where Amotekun took sides with Yoruba thugs by attacking Hausa people in a brazen manner was despicable , and which could be replicated in any state against ethnic minorities.

Same with kano state where hisbah frequently destroys alcoholic drinks owned mostly by southern business men while citing archaic laws.

State police is a dead end in Nigeria, it won't work effectively for obvious reasons. The average Nigerian is a tribalist and a bigot, irrespective of their socioeconomic status.
