Still no news of high school students being kidnapped from their school on the night of Thursday the 10th until Friday the 11th in the state of Katsina in northwestern Nigeria.

“I feel like I’m coming back from hell. I had the reflex to jump out of my dormitory window, as soon as I heard the first shots I ran, ran before taking refuge in the bush where I spent the night. “
These words are those from Kabir Isah, who appeared in Sunday’s issue of the Daily Trust, a Nigerian daily newspaper. Kabir is one of the survivors of this massacre and kidnapping committed at his high school in Kankara. This public high school in Katsina State usually accommodates 900 boys.
Several dozen students did not have Kabir’s turn and are still believed to be missing to their families’ concerns. The exact number of victims is still unknown. Many votes in Nigeria call for the unconditional release of these high school students from Kankara.
Aminu Masari, the governor of the state of Katsina, has decided to temporarily close all public schools that accommodate boarding students.
“Safe bankruptcy” for the opposition
Many are also challenging the Nigerian head of state Muhammadu Buhari. In the opposition, the People’s Democratic Party calls for a procedure to be initiated, because “this kidnapping in the head of state’s state of origin illustrates his security bankruptcy, while he was elected. on the promise to guarantee security for all ”.
Currently on a long weekend in Daura, in his stronghold in the state of Katsina, President Buhari mobilized his personal guard on Saturday and Sunday on various national media. Its goal is to erase a president’s clichés on a weekend in his home state and receive a horse and a saber, gifts offered by the Emir of Daura (religious and traditional part of northern Nigeria, the editor’s remark).
