September 25, (THEWILL) – President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to rescue the remaining female students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, who were recently abducted by terrorists.
THEWILL had earlier reported that an unspecified number of female students were abducted on Thursday night, when suspected bandits attacked their off-campus residence in Sabon-Gida community, in the Bungudu Local Government Area of the State.
Six of the students were earlier rescued by the Nigerian army troops of Operation Hadarin Daji.
Condemning the reprehensible act of abduction, President Tinubu said there is no moral justification for such heinous crimes against innocent victims, whose only “offence” was their pursuit of quality education.
While commiserating with all families directly impacted by the sad incident, President Tinubu affirmed the duty of his administration to protect every Nigerian citizen.
He assured the families of the abducted students that no effort will be spared in ensuring their safe return.
President Tinubu further pledged that the federal government is determined to ensure that educational institutions remain sanctuaries of knowledge, growth, and opportunity, and totally free from the menacing acts of terrorists.
