Former Nigerian Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has called on the Federal Government to do everything possible to bring back the over 300 schoolboys abducted from Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
Okonjo-Iweala, who made the call on Twitter page last night, also said that those using the children as pawns must be held accountable.
She wrote: “The abduction of more than 300 schoolboys in Katsina is heartbreaking. What a recurring nightmare. My heart goes out to the families of the missing boys. The authorities must do all possible to #BringBackOurBoys! Those using our children as pawns must be held accountable!”
KanyiDaily had reported how hundreds of GSS boarding students were abducted by bandits on Friday night, December 11, 2020, less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Katsina for a week long private visit.
However on Tuesday, Boko Haram terrorist group claimed responsibility for the abduction, saying the action was carried out to ‘promote Islam and discourage un-Islamic practices’.
