The main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has spoken against the abduction of the Government Science Secondary School, Kagara, Niger State, by bandits, who invade the school.
This was contained in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Wednesday.
The statement was titled, ‘Banditry: PDP Raises Alarm, Calls Out APC To Settle Their Mercenaries…Decries Abduction of Niger Students’.
The statement read, “The PDP tasks security forces to go after the outlaws and rescue the children
Nigerians were jolted by the Tuesday’s coordinated bandit attacks, kidnapping and killings in several communities in Niger state.
“The PDP describes as revealing that while the people of Niger state and Nigerians in other states were under attack by bandits, APC leaders, including those in Niger State, were busy pursuing their party’s phony membership re-registration exercise, instead of rallying security and rescue efforts for the people.
“The lethargic stance of the APC administration towards the fight against banditry further validates reports in the public space that the bandits are connected to the APC and enjoying cover under the ruling party.
“This probably explains why the APC never raised a strong voice against what has become a national calamity. Instead APC leaders are patronising the bandits and making excuses for them.
“Our party charges the APC to speak out on these reports and take immediate steps to settle their political mercenaries, return them to wherever they brought them from and bring an end to this gruesome attacks on Nigerians.”
The party urged security forces rescue the Kagara school children within the shortest time possible before any harm comes upon them.
