Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that abduction of 300 female students from Government Girls Science Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara State, would be the last to happen in the country. Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, conveyed Buhari’s declaration when he led a high-powered federal government delegation to sympathise with the people and government of Zamfara State.

According to him, 'Buhari is assuring the citizens there would be no abduction again because the Federal Government would show its commitment in fighting banditry and other forms of insecurity in the country’. 

The minister said new measures have been developed by the federal government which would bring complete end to all forms of criminality in the nation.

Sirika said the president is agitated by the setback and increase of banditry in almost everywhere in the north, which he noted that would not be tolerated. Buhari also commends zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, for his tireless efforts against armed banditry and promises a continued support to bring lasting peace.

In his response, Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle, expressed his appreciation for the concern showed by President Buhari and the federal government.
