President Bola Tinubu has issued a resolute directive to security personnel, commanding them not to negotiate or pay any ransom to abductors in the ongoing efforts to rescue kidnapped school children. This comes in the wake of the alarming incident involving the abduction of over 200 students in Kaduna State, a matter that was extensively discussed during the Federal Executive Council meeting held on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, revealed this directive while addressing State House Correspondents.<\/p>\n
Idris emphasized that the President’s directive is clear: security personnel must relentlessly pursue the abductors, ensuring the safe rescue of the captives and their subsequent reunion with their families, without capitulating to any ransom demands.<\/p>\n
The nation was shocked by the recent abduction of over 280 pupils and teachers from Government Secondary School and LEA Primary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, by bandits. This brazen act sparked widespread outrage across the country.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate that the bandits descended on the Kuriga area of the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, indiscriminately firing at their victims before forcibly taking away at least 280 students and teachers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
