The people of Kastina State expressed grievances as they marched out in a protest on Sunday, over the abduction of many schoolboys from the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara in the Kankara Local Government Area of the state .
The protesters demanded the immediate rescue of students abducted by bandits on Friday night.
The protest was led by a woman who identified herself as one of the mothers of the abducted students .
The protesters went around the school ’s premises and some parts of the town displaying placards to send home various messages , among which are ‘Government must speak out ’, ‘We want our children back ’ and ‘We want security in Kankara ’.
The protesters also chanted songs seeking the rescue of the abducted students .
Meanwhile , the Coalition of Northern Groups has threatened to ensure the continued mobilization of students and youths for protest in Katsina state if the abducted students were not rescued on time .
Addressing the press in Kastina, the chairman of the North – West zone of the group , Jamiu Aliyu said , “We condemn in totality this barbaric act and call for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the culprits, we equally stress the inability of the government to protect those young , innocent , vibrant students from this horrible attack as uncalled for .
“Failure of the government to rescue the missing students within a shortest period of time , CNG will not hesitate to mobilize hundreds of thousands on the streets of Katsina state for a continuous protest , until the students are fully rescued , even if it’s going to cost our lives .”
