Parents of abducted 140 Bethel Baptism secondary school students on Monday staged a peace protest along Kachia- Kaduna highway to express their displeasure over the kidnap of their children
The protesters who called for state of emergency to be declared in Kaduna state say the Governor, Mallam Nasir El-rufal has failed the state woefully.
In a similar development, the Kaduna State Schools Quality Assurance Authority has ordered 13 schools in areas vulnerable to bandits attacks to shut down immediately.
This advice was contained in a letter addressed to proprietors of the affected schools signed by the Director General, Imma K. Ahmed on Jul 5, 2021.
Procyon News report that the content of the letter reads in part…
