The Chief of Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmad Tinubu promised that the kidnapped students of tsangaya in Sokoto and Kuriga, Kaduna will be released safely without payment of ransom and the promise was fulfilled.

To accomplish the mission and fulfill the promise of the president of Nigeria, the 16 Tsangaya students in Gidan Bakuso at Gada local government area of Sokoto State were freed on Friday alongside a pregnant woman. While more than 280 pupils of Kuriga, Chikun Local Government of Kaduna state were also released unharmed.
The release of the kidnapped students had shown the commitment and determination of the President, the Nigerian joint forces and the two state governors in fighting insecurity in the country.
The two governors of the two states had tried all their best to make sure the pupils were released. Last week, the Governor of Kaduna state met the President on the Kuriga kidnapped students and the President confirmed his commitment to rescue the students unharmed and without payment of ransom, even though more details on the rescue of the pupils from the two schools are coming up.from the Defence Headquarters.
Though, there had been excessive kidnapping in the Northern part of the country in the recent weeks, but the Nigerian forces are doing well in the fight of the menace.
There are still almost 200 IDPs’ women in captivity in the Boko Haram den after the release of nine.
In its effort of fighting terrorism, the Army Defense Headquarters had issued a press release that it neutralized 105 bandits and arrest 140 in a week.
Meanwhile, a joint police patrol team attached to the Kankara Divisional Police Headquarters, Katsina State, in collaboration with troops of the Nigerian Army and members of the Katsina Community Watch Corps, rescued 14 passengers kidnapped by bandits.
There were many progresses recorded in the fight against terrorism by the armed forces, but much should be done to ensure complete safety of Nigerian schools.
The kidnapping of school students had returned for bandits to get money. International organizations and countries had called on Nigerian government to provide measures to protect schools from attacks.
Banditry destroys the hope of Nigerian students and increases the number of out-of-school children.
The Nigeria forces are doing very well in tackling insecurity, but much should be done to identify the doers and punish them for Nigerian schools to be safe from kidnappers.
