Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has lambasted former President, Goodluck Jonathan following the release of the 344 Kankara schoolboys.<\/p>\n

While giving kudos to President Muhammadu Buhari for the successful rescue of the schoolboys, MURIC lambasted the former President for allegedly being undecided and cynical when Chibok schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014.<\/p>\n

Recall that the 344 boys who were abducted from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State a week ago, returned yesterday, spending exactly one week in the hands of their abductors.<\/p>\n

MURIC said this in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Saturday, and signed by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe note with every seriousness that the early return of the boys was made possible by Mr. President\u2019s prompt action,\u201d MURIC said.<\/p>\n

According to MURIC, the fact that the army began chasing after the kidnappers very early made it possible for them to trace the abductors location.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are constrained to compare PMB\u2019s prompt action in the Kankara boys\u2019 affair to the costly procrastination exhibited by ex-President Jonathan after 276 Chibok girls were abducted on 14th April, 2014,\u201d the group added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe former president was cynical and undecided. He continued to dilly-dally for about 21 days after the abduction while the army waited for his order.<\/p>\n

\u201cJonathan set up a fact-finding committee nearly a month after the tragedy. This allowed the Boko Haram abductors to dig in,\u201d MURIC said.<\/p>\n

Recall that the bandits had on Friday night released the 344 students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
