Bethel School: Shehu Sani Names Masterminds Of Kidnappings I

A former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has revealed the masterminds of a series of kidnappings in Kaduna State.

In recent time, there has been a series of massive abduction of students, others in the state, the latest which triggered Sani to reveal the 'masterminds' happened in the early hours on Monday.

Unknown gunmen suspected to be bandits stormed Bethel Secondary School, Maramara Chickun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and kidnapped scores of students.

Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, said that the recent kidnappings of students, babies and women from different locations in the State were masterminded by Dogo Gide and Baleri.

There are also reports of the kidnap of babies from a hospital in the State and the abduction of over 10 women. All these happened within a few hours.

Reacting to the Bethel school abduction, Shehu Sani said the kidnapping of the students of the Federal College of Agricultural mechanization and that of the Greenfield University supposed to send a message to schools located in the Outskirts of Kaduna to close down. The abductions of students of the Bethel Baptist College were avoidable.

He further said that “In Kaduna state within three days, the bandits kidnapped more students and babies and nurses from our hospitals.

“They raided the Bethel Church and also abducted 13 women going to a wedding. The arrest we need is that of Dogo Gide and Baleri, the masterminds of this terrorism,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has directed security agencies to ensure the safe and early release of all kidnapped victims in the country.

In a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, on Monday President Buhari was concerned over attacks on Kaduna and Niger States, largely targeted at students.

Buhari urged security outfits to “act swiftly” to rescue all school boys and girls in the affected states and ensure their safe return.
