Amid divergent reactions of a resurgence of ter­rorists’ activities in the country, President Bola Tinubu has directed secu­rity agencies to rescue the remaining female students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, who were recently abducted by terrorists.

The directive is sequel to recent disturbing re­ports that a group of ban­dits broke into a hostel in Gusau in Zamfara State and whisked away some students of the federal university.

But Tinubu while con­demning the act, through his media aide, Ajuru Nge­lale, on Sunday, described the development as repre­hensible act of abduction.

He said the president believes there is no moral justification for such hei­nous crimes against inno­cent victims whose only “offence” was their pursuit of quality education.

“While the president wholeheartedly commis­erates with all families directly impacted by this sad incident, he affirms that his administration has a solemn duty to pro­tect every Nigerian citi­zen, and in line with this commitment, assures the families of the abducted students that no effort will be spared in ensuring their safe return.

“The president pledges that the Federal Govern­ment is determined to en­sure that educational insti­tutions remain sanctuaries of knowledge, growth, and opportunity, and totally free from the menacing acts of terrorists,” the presidential spokesman noted in a statement to State House correspon­dents.
