The Federal Government has given details of why it is yet to rescue the over hundreds of students Kidnapped in Kaduna State. Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, said its difficult to carry out the rescue as the government is not ready to jeopardize the safety of the children.
In his words,“It is a security issue. You know that the Chibok girls have been held for over seven years. Kidnapping of students is a very serious matter. The government cannot unilaterally go there and start bombing everybody.”
“We don’t want to lose the children. If we have gone ahead and started bombing many people, you may not even have seen some of the Chibok girls back. They would have been killed. The government is first of all responsible to its citizens. The fact that they are held by bandits requires more caution.”
On his part, the Vice President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (19 Northern States and Abuja) and Kaduna State chairman, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, told The PUNCH that 80 students of the Bethel Baptist school were still being held by bandits.
He said, “We still have 80 students of Baptist High School, Damishi, Kaduna with the bandits and we are appealing to all loving and caring Nigerians to pray along with us for a miracle very soon. Their parents and siblings want them back. The church also wants to see them back and all lovers of humanity want to hear that these children are back.”
