Kaduna Abduction:  Killing  Of  Students  Avoidable  If  We Have A Listening  Government – Northern Group | READ DETAILS

The Coalition of Northern Groups(CNG) has condemned the killings of the Greenfield University students abducted by unknown gunmen.

The group which described the killing as “regrettable” and “avoidable”  said that  ‘ having a leader such as Governor El-Rufai who could not be advised or criticized was a liability’.

CNG’s  Spokesperson, AbdulAzeez Suleiman while reacting to the killing on Monday, told  PUNCH correspondent,  that the group had resolved to intensify pressure including mass protest to force the Kaduna government to reason.

“We find the killing of two more students of Greenfield University quite regrettable but avoidable if we have a listening government. Unfortunately, we have a government in place that has stubbornly refused to heed genuine advice on its handling of the deteriorating security situation in Kaduna state.

“We have all along pointed out that leaders, such as the ones we have in Kaduna, who would not be advised or criticized are certainly a liability” Suleiman said.

Two additional students of the Greenfield University, Kaduna, were reportedly killed on Monday. This is few days after three of the abducted students  were also killed.

Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, on Monday, said;

“On a sad note, security agencies have just reported to the Kaduna State Government the recovery of two more dead bodies of Greenfield University students, killed by bandits today, Monday 26th April 2021.

“The retrieved corpses have been evacuated to a mortuary, and the university has been notified of the development.”

In a similarly  reaction,  the National Publicity Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Emmanuel Yawe,  said;

“This is the worst form of terrorism and barbarism ever visited on Nigeria. How much was used to set up the university that the terrorists are demanding N800m as ransom? The people committing these heinous crimes are they Northerners, are they Nigerians?

“What are the federal and state governments doing to stop this human waste? Our members want to know how el Rufai the Governor of Kaduna and Muhammadu Bihari feel about these tragic turn of events. The ACF feels and shares the pains of Nigerians in these tragic developments.”
