Former Nigerian Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has called on the Federal Government to bring back the over 300 schoolboys abducted from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State.
Okonjo-Iweala, who is the leading candidate for the job of director-general of the World Trade Organisation, on Tuesday night, via her Twitter handle, said those using the children as pawns should be brought to book.
She wrote, “The abduction of more than 300 schoolboys in Katsina is heartbreaking. What a recurring nightmare. My heart goes out to the families of the missing boys. The authorities must do all possible to #BringBackOurBoys! Those using our children as pawns must be held accountable!”
It would be recalled that unknown gunmen had stormed the school on Friday night and abducted the students after a gun duel with the police.
The Boko Haram group has also claimed responsibility for the abduction of the boys with the Katisna State government disclosing that they have established contact with the abductors.
