Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that the state government will soon secure the freedom of the abducted students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka in the Igabi Local Government Area.
He stated this on Wednesday while receiving five of the 39 students abducted by bandits who invaded the school on March 11.
The students were reunited with their parents after the troops rescued them on Monday.
Immediately after their release, they were taken to a military hospital for treatment and were freed to go home with their parents.
El-Rufai, who was represented by the Commissioner for internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, assured that the remaining students and others still in captivity will be rescued in no distant time.
Earlier, El-Rufai featured on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics where he warned that anyone caught negotiating with bandits on behalf of the state government would be prosecuted.
