The Benue, Sokoto and Zamfara state governments have all moved to close down boarding schools in their respective territories following the abduction of over 333 students from the Government Science Secondary School Kankara, Katsina State.
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State made the disclosure on Sunday when he visited the Maximum Security Custodian Centre (MSCC) in Makurdi, while also condemning the abduction of the Kankara boys.
Ortom disclosed that he had directed the Commissioner for Education to complete necessary steps to close all boarding schools in Benue as a preventive measure against the abduction of students, adding that if hundreds of students could be abducted in Katsina, the home state of the president, no place was safe again.
