The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has heaped praise on the office of the National Security Adviser and other security agencies over the safe release of Kuriga school children in Kaduna State.
About 137 school children were kidnapped on March 6 when the gunmen on motorcycles rode through their school, taking them away in an incident that sparked outrage and condemnation from several quarters including the UN children’s welfare agency UNICEF.
Two weeks after their kidnap, the children were rescued by security agencies. The military on Sunday said the victims were rescued in Zamfara State in the early hours of Sunday, through the joint efforts of the troops and local authorities.
A statement by the National Coordinator, CNG, Comrade Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, equally expressed gratitude to the Nigerian Army and all stakeholders involved in the process for their dedication to the release of the school children.
