Nigerian Government Should Engage Security Agencies To Secure Schools – Save-Public-Education Campaign GroupGunmen had stormed the community around 7am on Friday and abducted the pupils who were on their way to the school.
Condemning the abduction, the Save-Public-Education Campaign in a statement issued on Monday, which was jointly signed by Comrade Vivian Bello and Comrade Dimeji Macaulay, Convener and Co- Convener respectively, insisted that school children should not be used as pawns in the hands of bandits and terrorists.
"It is most distressing that children attending schools now face issues around their safety even within the school environment where they are ordinarily supposed to play and learn in an atmosphere devoid of fear or encumbrances. To see that this is fast becoming a mirage in the country is not only distressing but alarming.
