All 237 Children Kidnapped By Gunmen Will Return Unhurt – Kaduna Gov Sani Promises

By Idris Abubakar

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has promised that all the children of  LEA Primary and Junior Secondary School, Kuriga in Chikun Local Government Area of the state kidnapped by gunmen would return soon.

“Before coming here, I spoke with the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, and we are making efforts. The security forces have swung into action, and by God’s grace, we will rescue the children,” the governor said.

“We will do whatever we need to do to ensure the safe return of these children, even if it means coming to Kuriga to stay with you.

“The essence of government is the protection of citizens’ lives and property. We recognise the fact that we are holding this position in trust for the people, and by God’s grace, we will protect the citizens’ rights,” he said.

According to him, when he was in the Senate, he moved the motion for the creation of state police because he realised that there were no enough boots on the ground.

He said with state police, every community like Kuriga would have people in the police, and they would be armed with AK47 rifles to protect the lives and property of the citizens.
