Congratulating President Buhari over the release of the students, Tinubu called on the Nigerian army to not only intensify their effort to secure schools but also cities and villages. 

Tinubu who pointed out that  no development could occur under a climate of fear, uncertainty, and insecurity of lives and property, Tinubu said: 

“The quick release of the schoolboys from their abductors had vindicated the president in his untiring efforts to rid the country of insecurity and see the back of bandits and insurgents in the land.

“The initial abduction of the over 300 Kankara schoolboys from their dormitory in broad daylight was unsettling and raises a serious concern.

“However, their prompt rescue from their abductors is heart-warming.

“It vindicates President Buhari in his untiring commitment and determination to rid the country of insecurity and confront Boko Haram insurgents and bandits operating in some parts of the country,” he said.

“I empathise with the agonised parents and relations of the abducted schoolboys and rejoice with them over the release of their children from the jaws of the abductors.

“These boys must now be reunited with their families.”

Recall that  AllNews had in the course of last week reported that bandits invaded Katsina secondary school and abducted scores of students.

Following the attack, President Buhari asked the Army and police to go after the abductors and rescue the students.

The students were eventually released on Thursday.
