Abducted students release: “The armed forces know their job” – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the release of the kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State.
In a statement released by Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu on Thursday, the President applauded the armed forces and Governor Masari for their efforts in rescuing the school boys
“The Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, and the army worked extremely hard. As soon as I got the information, I congratulated them. The Armed Forces know their job. They have been well trained and properly motivated, he said
“On the issue of detainees held elsewhere in the country by either terrorists or bandits, my administration is aware of its responsibility to protect the life and property of the Nigerians.
“I urge Nigerians to be patient and fair with my administration as we tackle the problems of security, economy and corruption.
“We have a lot of work to do, especially now that we have re-opened the borders. It is unfortunate that the bandits & terrorists continue to get weapons even under the circumstances of the border closure. We are going to dare them and will deal with all that,” the President said.
He, however, prayed for the full recovery of the students, whom he said had endured significant hardships in the course of their six-day ordeal.
May God have mercy on us, armed forces know their job after those children have been kidnapped and released by them. Toor.
In the first instance, where is our military before those children were kidnapped? You people are just toy with Nigerians life.
They are just giving us flimsy excuses, if anything still happen today they will continue with their excuses. This present government is terrible and doing not enough in tackling the situation of the country.
The present administration should stand up to their duty and save us from all these calamities that is befallen us in the country, this is beyond endurance. Those in charge should rise up to their duty.
We thank God the boys have been released. We thank all those that in one way or the other helped in facilitating their release
The government should do all they can do to make sure this nonsense does not repeat itself
Glory to God we thank God for their release god is always protective I will continue to provide the land and liberate us from the hands of her enemies amen
Whom did you say that knows their job?
The one visiting snake farm or another person, if not for the intervention of the US those students wouldn’t have been released yet.
They are not doing anything….
