Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State.
The Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) has planned to
stage a protest using the hashtag #BringBackOurBoys to demand the
return of abducted pupils of Government Science Secondary School,
Kankara in Katsina State.
In a statement signed on Wednesday by CNG spokesperson,
Abdulazeez Suleiman the group vowed that the protest will be
indefinite until the students are rescued.
He said that the protest will kick off in Katsina, the state
capital on Thursday and will then proceed to Daura to register
their concerns with President Muhammadu Buhari who is in the town
on a weeklong visit.

He lamented that this group cannot keep silent anymore
concerning the increasing insecurity in the North.
“It will be unreasonable to expect any northerner and
well-meaning Nigerians to fold their arms and watch the North, a
significant component of the country abandoned to the mercy of
bandits and murderers and kidnappers,” Suleiman said.
He added that CNG Board of Trustees Chairman Nastura Ashir
Shariff is already in touch with parents of the abducted pupils and
assured them of support through this trying moment.
Other CNG members from Jigawa, Kano and Katsina are expected to
join the protest.
