It Makes No Sense For Buhari’s Government To Stage-Manage Kankara Boys Abduction – FG

The Federal Government has come out to say that reports saying the abduction of some students from a boarding school in Kankara, Katsina State, and their release was stage-managed are nonsense.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed recently revealed this when he featured on a special edition of the Nigeria Television Authority programme, “Good Morning Nigeria.”

According to him, politicians and other interest groups should stop politicising and commercialising issues of security because it is very unfair.

He added that it makes no sense for any government to stage-manage abduction of students or any of its citizens.

His words, “What precisely does government want to achieve? Is it to prove the deficiency of the military or what.

“In the case of Dapchi, we had all kinds of bizarre theories.

“You have to be in government to know how many sleepless nights the president, ministers and head of security outfits spent until the matter is resolved.”

“Many naysayers would have loved the incident to linger and become the igniting rod for their attacks

“Otherwise, how do we describe the spurious organisation like the Bring Back Our Boys that emerged within a few days of the capture of the students.

“Within a few days of the abduction, the so called organisation had moved to Katsina.

“When you have a situation like this, naysayers who are bent at bringing down the government, will come up with all kinds of theories that do not make sense.

“Dapchi abduction was in 2018, how come two years down the lane, nobody has come out to tell us how it was stage-managed?”
