Neither were  Nigerians and the global Community informed about the  eventual role played by the self acclaimed banditry and kidnappings negotiator ,Sheikh Abubakar Gumi in securing the freedom of the abducted school children.

However, Governor Sani thanked President Bola Tinubu for his unwavering commitment and dedication to securing the release of the school children unhurt.

Although released, the audacious and brazen Kuriga abductions have re- awaken in  not a few Nigerians and in deed ,the civilized world, the sad  memory of the infamous kidnap of the  Chibok School girls during President Good luck Jonathan’s  administration. Many are questioning the real motives, as well as when Nigeria will see the last of such barbaric expeditions.

Meanwhile President Tinubu on Sunday   hailed the released of the abducted Kuriga School  children, promising to ensure the  safety of the country’s school environments

In a statement issued by his Spokesman Ajuri Ngelale , the President emphasized the need for collaborations between the Federal Government and State authorities in periods of challenges for maximum results.
