Kaduna: 8 Students, staff of Engravers College regain freedom

The six female students and two staff of Engravers College, Kaduna, who were abducted three weeks ago have regained their freedom on Saturday, Kaduna state government has said.

Kaduna state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, disclosed in a statement on Saturday that the abducted girls and their teachers have been reunited with their families, while praying that they overcome the trauma they have been forced to go through in the past weeks. 

“We are relieved that this criminal violation of the right to liberty is over and that they are all back safely. 

“The victims, most of whom are minors, and their families will now be focusing on recovering from this undeserved trauma. We appeal for considerate reporting of their ordeal and respect for their privacy.  

“As we continue to combat banditry, kidnapping and other crimes, the Kaduna state government urges all our communities not to give comfort to criminals by dividing victims and inserting ethno-religious narratives for the activities of ruthless miscreants.

“The state government calls for vigilance in all our communities and continued cooperation with the security agencies in this battle to secure our state and all who live in it,” Aruwan said.
