Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle on Sunday assured that the abducted female students of Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS) Jangebe will soon be rescued and returned safely to the respective homes.
Matawalle gave the assurance when he received a federal government delegation led by the Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika, who were in the state to sympathize with the government over the incident.
Others in the delegation are: Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi, Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen and the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Sadiya Umar Faruq.
Matawalle said he is working with repentant bandits to ensure the safe rescue of the schoolgirls.
“We are using those who have subscribed to our peace accord,” he said.
He urged government to deploy more security personal to the state in view of the vast land mass of the state.
He also called for improved synergy between the military and other security agencies in order to bring an end to the insecurity in the country.
Earlier, Sirika said the President Muhammadu Buhari was determined to end students abductions and other forms of criminality in the country.
“This abduction of the female students in Jangebe will be the last as the federal government has reorganized the security architecture of the country to nib all the atrocities of these criminals,” he said.
