Vice-President Kashim Shettima assured the families of the 25 schoolgirls abducted from the Government Girls Commercial Secondary School, Maga, Kebbi State, that the Federal Government would everything it can to rescue the girls.
He stated this today in Birnin Kebbi, the Kebbi State capital, which he visited to commiserate with the government and people of the state over the tragic incident.
In his remarks, he assured the families of the schoolgirls, as well as the killers of the late Brigadier-General Musa Uba and the late Vice Principal of the school, that President Tinubu was “deeply troubled” by the tragic incidents.
He said: “Our government will deploy all instruments of the state to rescue the schoolchildren and ensure their abductors, and the killers of the gallant military general and the vice principal, are made to face the full weight of justice.
“No doubt, the abduction of the schoolgirls from the boarding school in Maga is an assault on the collective conscience of all Nigerians.”
