Abductions
By Aminu Garko
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Sen. Sani Musa,( APC Niger) on Saturday condemned the abduction of pupils from St Mary’s Catholic School in Agwara Local Government Area of Niger State describing the attack by armed terrorists as a senseless act.
In a statement issued in Kano, Sen. Musa expressed “deep concern and profound sorrow” over the kidnapping, which occurred on Friday night when a group of armed men stormed the school premises and seized an undisclosed number of students.
The senator extended his solidarity to Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, the Niger State Government, the residents of Agwara, and the families of the abducted children.
“The incident is a senseless act that has traumatised the entire community,” Sen. Musa said. “I strongly condemn this criminal attack and reaffirm our collective resolve to work with security agencies and all relevant authorities to ensure the safe and immediate rescue of the abducted students.”
I am urging Nigerians to remain united in the face of adversity and to cooperate fully with security agencies. “Together, we shall overcome this scourge and restore peace to our land,” he said.
