President Muhammadu Buhari has strongly condemned the bandits’ attack at the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara in Katsina State, charging the army and the police to go after the attackers to ensure that no student gets missing or harmed.

According to a statement issued Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), the military has now located the hideout of the bandits responsible for the abduction and had engaged them in an exchange of fire.

The statement said President has urged the school authorities to carry out an audit of the population of the students following shootings in and around the school that sent hundreds of them fleeing and scrambling over perimeter walls.

It said parents who rushed to the school and removed their children and wards were also required to notify the school and police authorities in order to have a full account of the school population.

The statement quoted the president as saying: “I strongly condemn the cowardly bandits’ attack on innocent children at the Science School, Kankara. Our prayers are with the families of the students, the school authorities and the injured.”

Buhari pledged to continue to support the police and military struggle against terrorists and bandits.

“In the latest briefing received by the President from Governor Aminu Bello Masari, with whom he has been in touch, and the Army Chief of Staff, General Tukur Buratai, the military, supported by air power has located the bandits’ enclave at Zango/Paula forest in Kankara and there have been exchange of fire in an ongoing operation. Police said so far, there has not been reported any student casualty,” the statement informed.

It said the President has directed the reinforcement of security of all schools in line with the safe schools policy of the administration.

APC kidnapped chibok girls...seems u are a newly recruited zombie but ur own matter dey on another level

No fvcks given

Photoshop kidnapping

Were bandits supposed to even have an enclave let alone operate? Same Nigerian army that have repeatedly lied shamelessly about technically defeating same BH terrorists the presidency have been granting amnesty and bandits the Kastina government have been negotiating with? Continue the charade.Karma is a bitch.

So they waited until the girls were kidnapped before locating the enclave? What am I even saying? The attack and the kidnapping are propaganda by ipob terrorists.

Oga Garba Shehu I don't think the Nation needs to know if you near the enclave or you have seen the Enclave!
All that will Gladen the Citizens is to see that those kids are rescued from the bandits/ terrorist!

I had hoped that at some point in the press release, they would state that they have been rescued. Sadly, nothing of such

Can you say this in the court of law.

He has committed blashpemy

Which student again...? Is it the ones that NPF said were never kidnapped?

Bokoharam, not Bandits.
Stupid Government

Since our security forces can no longer secure us, it is becoming clear that nigeria is now the "sick man of africa" and just as the british forced this "unity" on us, disunity,corruption, nepotism and finally terrorism is about to blow everything and everyone apart.

Buhari has failed this country with the way he handled his tribes men crime.

Why are they referring to them as bandits? Aren't they Boko Haram?



They'll try to suppress the information by providing cooked media info.....

But as usual, we'll get to know the real thing when the parents of these kids will cry back to the media in few months time to tell us how the government abandoned them and yet to return the abducted 600kids....




And they better do their work before they'll childishly set up a panel to invite CNN for reporting the real unfolding events!

Fake news
