Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna lawmaker, has reacted to the
conflicting number of students kidnapped by gunmen in Government Science
Secondary School, Kankara.
The Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Masari had said that
333 students were still missing from the school.
He was quoted as saying “Based on available records, we are
still searching for 333 students through either the forest or their parents to
ascertain the actual number that has been kidnapped.”
However, the Presidency on Sunday through the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, claimed only ten students were abducted.
The confusion has now sparked reactions from Nigerians on
social media.
Shehu Sani on his Twitter page condemned the reports of
conflicting numbers, saying the incident calls for empathy and action, no
matter the numbers.
Sani noted that it was still a failure of duty to protect,
even if just one person was kidnapped.
His tweet read: “Whenever people are killed or kidnapped,
next comes disagreements in figures of the casualties or victims.
“Even if it’s one, it is still a tragedy resulting from the
failure of duty to protect or prevent; And that calls for empathy and action.”
