abducted students in Kankara following their release by their
captors.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday met with the
released students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara,
in Katsina State.

This comes about an hour after the Personal Assistant on New
Media to the President, Bashir Ahmad, made the announcement in a
tweet.

The President who received the boys in company with the Katsina
State Governor, Aminu Masari, and some top Federal and state
government officials, addressed them in Hausa language.

He thanked all those involved in the release of the students,
especially the Federal and State governments, as well as the
military.

In his remarks, Governor Masari highlighted the efforts made
which led to the release of the schoolboys, saying security should
be the responsibility of all and not just of the government.

President Buhari met with the boys a day after they were
released by their captors who abducted them from the Government
Science Secondary School in Kankara.

 

 

On Thursday evening, Channels Television reported that
hundreds of the students had been released, and kept safe in Tsafe,
a local government area in Zamfara State before they were brought
back to Katsina State.

attacks in the North East for more than a decade had claimed
responsibility for the abduction.

Following the release of the students, the President’s aide
insisted that the group has no connection with the abduction of the
schoolboys.
