We Won’t Allow Criminals Destroy Our Education System — Buhari

… Hails military’s prompt response to Kaduna
abduction

President Muhammadu Buhari has said his administration would do
everything possible to defend the nation’s school system against
bandits, kidnappers and terrorists trying to destroy it.

The President spoke with regards to recent worsening cases of
kidnappers and bandits’ attacks on schools and abduction of
hundreds of school children, in a statement issued by his Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.

President Buhari commended efforts of the Kaduna State
government and the early response of the military which led to the
rescue of 180 students including eight staff members but urged that
the others declared missing be found and returned safely to their
families.

The President also commended efforts and contributions of local
intelligence in significantly thwarting the kidnappers, saying that
a country which has an efficient local intelligence network is a
safer country.

“Our military may be efficient and well-armed but it needs good
efforts for the nation’s defense and the local population must rise
to this challenge of the moment,” the President said.

President Buhari expressed sympathy with the victims of this
incident and hoped for an early end to the ordeal of those still
held captive.
