I Withdrew My Son From Public School To Prevent Attacks From Bandits – El-Rufai

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has come out to share why he withdrew his son from public school.

He recently revealed this in an interview with BBC Pidgin after earlier accusations that he withdrew the child secretly.

According to him, he made that decision after bandits attempted to kidnap his son twice at Kaduna Capital School in recent times.

He added that withdrawing Al-Sadiq was simply to discourage bandits from attacking the school and his boy, nothing else.

His words, “My son was registered in the school and so my daughter who clocked six years. But we have to temporarily withdraw them for the security of the school because we foiled plans from at least two groups to attack the school to kidnap my son.”

“I don’t think they will succeed because enough security was put in place to prevent them. But other children will be in danger. We don’t have an idea about the kind of weapons they will carry.”

“I have taken a stand against paying bandits. We got intel that they were planning to kidnap my son from Kaduna Capital School to see whether I will pay ransom if they kidnap my son.”
