President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to rescue the remaining female students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, recently abducted by terrorists.
This was as the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has also condemned the development, describing it as “one abduction far too many.”The students were abducted in the early hours of Friday at their off-campus hostels in Sabon Gida village, Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
In a statement yesterday by the presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, the president, while condemning the situation he described as reprehensible, said there was no moral justification for such heinous crimes against innocent victims, whose only “offence” was their pursuit of quality education.
He, however, commiserated with all the families directly impacted by the sad incident and affirmed that his administration had a solemn duty to protect every Nigerian citizen, and that in line with this commitment, assured the families of the abducted students that no effort would be spared in ensuring their safe return.
Tinubu further pledged the determination of the federal government towards ensuring that educational institutions remained sanctuaries of knowledge, growth, and opportunity, and totally free from the menacing acts of terrorists.
