Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has expressed deep shock over the abduction of 25 female students from Government Girls Comprehensive School, Maga, in Danko-Wasagu Local Council of Kebbi State.

The attack, carried out by gunmen on Sunday night, has drawn widespread condemnation. Governor Aliyu, who is currently in Saudi Arabia performing the lesser hajj, described the incident as “unfortunate and inhuman,” praying for the safe return of the girls.

He urged residents of Kebbi State to intensify prayers for the safe rescue of the students and asked Nigerians to support ongoing efforts against insecurity.

Aliyu also prayed for divine intervention in federal and state initiatives aimed at ending banditry and other criminal activities nationwide. He called on citizens to remain vigilant and cooperate fully with security agencies.
