THE Nigerian Army, gave more insight into the abduction of school children in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations (DMO), Major-General John Enenche, who spoke on Channels television programme, on Monday evening, said the bandits moved the abducted students from their hostels using motorcycles.
“They were moved on the motorcycles they (gunmen) brought and after a short distance, some of them continued with the motorcycles, others dismounted.
“That is their usual characteristics – those abductors. It is the same system; the same approach they used. There was no evidence, no information about them using other modes of transport,” Enenche said.
The bandits who abducted of students at the Government Science Secondary Kankara, have made contact with the state government, Governor Aminu Masari has revealed.
The governor met with President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Daura, to give him additional briefing on the development. He assured the president that there had been a steady progress towards rescuing the students unharmed.
“We are making progress and the outlook is positive,’’ the governor told newsmen after an hour meeting with the president, which started at 2:00 p.m”
However, there are reports that more than 300 children are still missing, with many feared abducted, after armed gunmen stormed the school late Friday evening.
