BREAKING: Gov Masari reveals location of abducted Katsina schoolboys

Bello Masari, the governor of Katsina State, has revealed the location of about 300 students who were abducted by either bandits or Boko Haram from the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State.

Last week Friday, about 500 students were kidnapped in Kankara but after the attack by Bandits, the whereabouts of 333 students is yet to be ascertained.

But Governor Masari on Wednesday night said the schoolboys were currently in a forest in Zamfara State.

Masari, who was answering questions on BBC Hausa Wednesday night, said he got information that the students are in Zamfara.

“They are in Zamfara forests, we have gotten the information,” Masari said.

He said his government is negotiating with the kidnappers to ensure the release of the abducted students.

Masari stated that he had started a dialogue with the abductors, assuring that his administration would secure the students’ release.

“We are negotiating with those that have abducted the students and we want to ensure that we secure their release,” he added.

He, however, refuted the allegation that the students were kidnapped by Boko Haram.

The governor maintained that none of the abducted students of the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara is dead.

Masari described the report that some of the abducted students are dead as false.
