Reax As Boko Haram Claims Kidnap Of Nigerian Students
The Daily Nigerian said it received an audio message from Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claiming the abduction, although there has been no independent verification of its authenticity
Nigerians were on Tuesday still coming to terms with the news of the kidnap of hundreds of schoolboys in one of the largest such attacks in years.
Nigeria s Boko Haram jihadist rebels have claimed responsibility for the abduction of more than 330 students that are still missing from the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, after gunmen with assault rifles attacked their school Friday night, although scores of others managed to escape.
President Muhammadu Buhari, 77, had just checked into his country home in Daura, Katsina State on Friday, December 11, 2020, for a private visit, when news broke that more than 300 schoolboys had been abducted from the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State, by terrorists.
At around 9:40 p.m. on the day, gunmen wielding AK-47 rifles stormed the school on motorbikes, shot into the air and rounded up the students.
The president hasn’t moved a muscle, five days after an abduction reminiscent of the kidnapping of over 250 schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno State in 2014 and the kidnapping of 110 schoolgirls from Dapchi, Yobe State in 2018.
