Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna lawmaker, Shehu Sani has condemned the abduction of 287 students by bandits who attacked a school in the state.

Recall that a total of 287 students from the LEA Primary and Secondary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, were kidnapped on Thursday, when bandits attacked the school premises.

This was made known in an update given by the Head Teacher, Sani Abdullahi, who narrated the incident when Governor Uba Sani led senior government officials and top security brass to the Kuriga Village Head’s palace.

Reacting to the development in a post via his official X handle on Thursday afternoon, Sani described the abduction of the students as tragic and depressing.

The former lawmaker, however, stated that he is optimistic their freedom will be secured.

He wrote: It’s tragic to hear that 232 students have just been kidnapped in Kuriga village, Chikun Lg in Kaduna State. It’s the same village where a school principal, Idris Sufyan was killed and his wife kidnapped over a month ago. However, I’m optimistic their freedom will be secured.”
