The Northern States Governors Forum has said it was dumbfounded by the recent developments perpetrated by bandits. The NGF was speaking in reference to the killing of three of the students who were abducted from the Greenfield University in Kaduna State.
Chairman of the NGF, Simon Bako Lalong, described the incident as condemnable and barbaric.
In a statement signed by the director of press and public affairs in the Government House, Simon Makut Macham, the NGF chair said there was no justification for the kidnap and murder of the hapless students.
Lalong pronounced the bandits’ actions as a case of sheer wickedness and called for swift action to be taken against them.
The Jos Governor said that the northern governors have continued to engage the federal government and security agencies in order to find a lasting solution to the menace of kidnapping and other criminal activities, particularly in schools.
According to Lalong, the recent meeting of the forum with President Muhammadu Buhari and the service chiefs was to further consolidate measures to address the security challenges in the region and the nation as a whole.
The governor expressed condolences with the aggrieved families, calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the other students still in captivity.
