President Muhammadu Buhari has received reports of the brazen attack on Government Science College, Kagara, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, following which a yet to be ascertained number of staff and students have been abducted by gunmen.
The president has also directed the Armed Forces and the police to ensure immediate and safe return of all the captives.
The president has also dispatched to Minna a team of security chiefs to coordinate the rescue operation and meet with state officials, community leaders, parents and staff of the College.
He assured of the support of the present administration to the Armed Forces in their struggle against terrorism and banditry, and urged them to do all that can be done to bring an end to this saga, and avoid such cowardly attacks on schools in the future.
“Our prayers are with families of the victims of this attack,” said the president as he condemned as cowardly the attack on innocent school children.
