President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that the release of hundreds of schoolboys kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents is a huge relief to their families and the entire country.

He recently revealed this via a statement signed by Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.

According to him, he can only thank everyone who played a role in ensuring the release of the schoolboys, and he is very grateful for the unity shown to guarantee their freedom.

He then hailed Nigeria’s intelligence agencies, the military and police force for providing the environment for safe release of the hostages.

His words, “President Muhammadu Buhari has welcomed release of kidnapped students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, describing their safe return as a big relief to their families, the entire country and international community.”

“In a short remark shortly after their release was announced, President Buhari expressed the nation’s appreciation for the steps taken by all involved to make their release possible.

“President Buhari specifically cited what he called the “spirit of partnership and the collaborative efforts of the government of Katsina, Zamfara and military leading to the release.’’

“He commended the nation’s intelligence agencies, the military and police force for providing the environment for safe release of the hostages.

“The Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, and the army worked extremely hard. As soon as I got the information I congratulated them. The Armed Forces know their job. They have been well trained and properly motivated.”

“When we came, we made efforts that yielded the return of the Chibok Girls. When a similar incident of school abduction happened at Dapchi, we successfully returned all but one of the more than one hundred abductees. When this latest incident happened, we put in our efforts and today we have this result to show.”
