Katsina School Attack: Presidency Disagrees With Masari
Contrary to Katsina State Governor, Bello Masari, the presidency has disagreed over the number of boys abducted from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, told the BBC Hausa Service that only 10 boys are with the bandits.
Meanwhile, Masari had said on Sunday that 333 boys were still missing.
The BBC Hausa bulletin read, “The Government of Nigeria has said its security forces have surrounded the location where gunmen have kept schoolchildren abducted from a secondary school in Katsina State.
“Spokesman for the President, Mallam Garba Shehu, told the BBC only 10 children were remaining in the hands of the gunmen according to their colleagues who escaped from the gunmen. The number is below figures released by school authorities at the beginning. Garba Shehu said the school children who escaped said 10 of their friends were still with their abductors.”
