The outlived Kogi State commissioner of Police Mr Bethrand Onouha has failed to secure the State yet again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is heartbreaking that some students who were gathered for tutorials ahead of their First Semester Examinations scheduled to commence on Monday, the 13th of May, 2024 could be abducted. He described the unfortunate act as inhumane and unfair to the young students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also worrisome that at this moment, the state government is yet to make public the actual number of students abducted. Sources within the school claimed over 40 students were abducted while the state government is saying otherwise. The public and the parents of the students have the right to know the true picture of things. We are warning against any cover up\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He called on the Kogi Sttate Government to deploy all state security apparatus at its disposal to secure the return of the students to their parents and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important for the state government under Usman Ododo to prioritize the safe return of the students and enhance security in the state and the University. Let\u2019s hope for a swift resolution to this unfortunate incident,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
