Kaduna Gov Sani says, 137, not 287 school children were kidnapped at Kuriga

of Kaduna state has said that, contrary to reports, 137 schoolchildren, and not 287, were abducted on March 7, at Kuriga in the Chikun Local Government Area of the state.

The relieved governor said the number released by the military is the authentic figure, describing “287”, as a figment of some people’s imagination. “Today, I met with the families of the children and they confirmed to me that the numbers given by the military are the correct numbers,” he added, describing the “287” as works of propangadists.

The governor also said Kaduna-based Muslim cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, was not involved in the safe return of the pupils, though the cleric had offered to negotiate with bandits for the release of the pupils.
