Over 200 school children were abducted last Thursday from a public primary school and a secondary school in Kuriga town in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The House of Representatives has asked the Office of the National Security Adviser to coordinate the rescue of the over 200 students abducted by terrorists in Kuriga, a community inThe resolution followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance moved by Ahmed Munir.

He added that violence is taking place despite the trillions of naira injected into the defence sector in the last couple of years. He said the government is yet to adequately utilise the initiative to protect schools 10 years after the launch of the programme. "Kaduna State borders the North-western states of Zamfara, Katsina and Kano, borders the North-eastern State of Bauchi and the North-central States of Plateau, Nasarawa, Abuja and Niger and therefore an isolated plan for just Kaduna alone will be ineffective without taking cognisance of border communities and even neighbouring countries of Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Benin Republic and the wider Sahel," the lawmaker said.

Furthermore, it mandated the Committees on National Security, Finance and Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance with the resolutions.
