The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has passionately appealed to security agencies to rescue the abducted students in higher institutions in the North-West region of Nigeria.
Tajudeen who lamented the resurgence of abductions of students at tertiary institutions made the appeal in a statement on Wednesday following confirmation by the Katsina State Police Command on the abduction of five students of the Federal University, Dutsinma in the state.
The Speaker noted that the students’ abductions pose serious threats to education in the North as well as anywhere else in the country, and while expressing the disturbing nature of the ugly trend, charged the military and relevant security agencies to, as a matter of urgency, rejig their architecture and approaches to ensure security of all Nigerians
Speaker Abbas in the statement made available by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, also called on the host communities of tertiary institutions to help security agents by being vigilant and reporting any suspicious movement in their areas.
Meanwhile, it is recalled that on September 22, 2023 armed bandits invaded three female hostels at the Sabon Gida area of Zamfara State and abducted an unspecified number of female students at the Federal University, Gusau (FUG).
