Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the abduction of only female students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in Mando, Kaduna on Thursday. Atiku in a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle urged the authorities to spare no resources in securing the release of the schoolgirls. He wrote: “A situation where only girl students, an already vulnerable group that is playing catch-up in the North, is specifically targeted for abduction raises serious concerns.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the affected students’ families, even as I urge that no resources should be spared to secure their release. The question is: how long shall we continue with this situation?”
Recall that unidentified gunmen on Thursday invaded the abovementioned school and abducted only female students.
The college was said to have some 300 male and female students mostly aged 17 and older, at the time of the attack.
Kaduna state commissioner for internal security Samuel Aruwan said 30 of the students were missing while the army was able to rescue 180 people after a fierce battle with the gunmen.
