Masari said, “This is a big tragedy, and our concern and commitment towards rescuing the schoolboys is beyond measure. We can’t say we are more concerned than the parents, but we deeply share in their pains, knowing full well that we are responsible for the protection of their lives and well-being.

“The soldiers have informed me that they are currently battling with the bandits, and we will do our best to rescue them all. We have ordered the closure of all schools and directed that all the schoolboys be returned to their parents.”

Katsina is one of the states in the North-West that has witnessed repeated attacks by armed bandits on communities.

Masari had earlier entered a peace agreement with the bandits. But despite the Accord, communities in the state are still being attacked and residents killed.
