Nigeria’s major opposition party has alleged that the abductors who raided Government Science Secondary School, Kagara, Niger State, moved from village to village, supported by a helicopter.
The ruling party has described this as a crass, wild and baseless official statement by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in response to the condemnable abductions in Niger State.
The presidency has resolved not to join issues with the PDP but focus on ongoing efforts to ensure the quick and safe release of the abducted schoolchildren and others. Co-ordinated by service chiefs, President Muhammadu Buhari has already deployed to Niger State, national security assets to achieve this.
The Presidency has called on parents, loved ones and other stakeholders not to be distracted by conspiracies and lies as all hands are on deck to ensure the quick and safe release of the abductees.
It affirms that the Government’s resolve and the capacity of security services to end the cowardly attacks on soft targets, particularly schools are not in doubt.
