“We equally call on all stakeholders to assist school within their domain on intelligence gathering and surveillance to avert future occurrences.
“Lastly, we commiserate with the government and people of Niger State particularly the parents of the innocent students captured and the bereaved family of the dead student and urge government and stakeholders to do the needful to ensure the immediate release of the students and their teachers in captivity,” he said.
