Without mincing words, Kebbi State Governor, Abubakar Bagudu, held his audience spell bound, stating, “About two weeks ago, there was the news of bandits’ movement and they were sighted around this area. He said, “This abduction was a brazen and tragic incident where bandits confronted the policemen, who were providing security to the school, and overpowered them. “Sadly, three students, one each from Kamba (Kebbi), Wushishi and Anaba areas of Niger State, have been confirmed dead. The Kebbi State Police Command spokesman, DSP Nariu Abubakar, debunked the rumour that the bandits escaped with the students to an unknown destination with a police vehicle. “The gallant troops are still on the heels of the kidnappers in order to rescue the remaining abductees still in captivity.”Copyright PUNCH.
