In the early days, mankind were merely wanderers, then comes the period when he starts settling down which led to emergence of hamlets, clans, villages chiefdoms after which, comes kingdoms and empires.

Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, yesterday revealed the role he played in the release of 344 students abducted from Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
Gunmen on motorcycles had attacked the school on December 11 and abducted the students a few hours after President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in Katsina for a week-long private visit.
Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, however, announced the release of the 344 schoolboys six days after their abduction by bandits. The students were freed at a forest in Zamfara State.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja yesterday, Matawalle said the Kankara schoolboys were released in his state before they were moved to Katsina.

The saga of the recent “Kidnapping” of over 300 students from the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State, has fostered many differing explanations and unanswered questions. When it looked as if the situation would end in another inexcusable tragedy, Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, told the nation that “only 10” boys were kidnapped.
The Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari told the nation that there were 333. A kidnapped student who escaped claimed that they were counted by their abductors and the total was 520, then eventually 344 were released. Garba Shehu later “apologised” for misleading Nigerians with the sort of “fake news” he always complains about. Not only do the numbers differ, but also do t

The Nigerian government has decried the incessant attacks on schools in the Northeast alleging that students are being abducted to embarrass the government and inflict damage on the credibility of Nigeria.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, disclosed this while featuring on a Special Forum of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He also insisted that terrorists were after soft targets deliberately to attract global concerns.
“These are all terrorists who want to embarrass the government and catch the attention of the entire world.
“The psychology is to inflict the most serious damage on the credibility of a country, giving the impression that if you cannot protect the most vulnerable in the country, such government is incompetent,’’ he said.
