The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has arrived in Kebbi State to meet with the state government officials and families of schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga.
The aircraft carrying Shettima landed at the Sir Ahmadu
Bello International Airport in Birnin Kebbi.
Shettima was accompanied by Director General of the National
Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Zubaida Umar, and other government
officials.
Shettima, who had earlier departed Abuja for Kebbi on the
directive of President Bola Tinubu, is expected to convey Tinubu’s message to
the people of the state, as well as receive a briefing on the situation for
onward communication to the President.
Recall that the attack on the Kebbi school claimed the life
of the school’s Vice Principal, Malam Hassan Makuku, who was reportedly killed
while trying to prevent the bandits from taking the girls away.
Meanwhile, the police said on Monday that a combined
tactical team was deployed to comb the forests in a bid to rescue the girls.
President Bola Tinubu has condemned the attack and
commiserated with the families of those affected.
He also postponed his scheduled trips to Johannesburg in
South Africa and Luanda, Angola, to attend the 20th G20 Summit of leaders and
the 7th AU-EU Summit, respectively.
