President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, says it is cowardice for gunmen to seize innocent school children.

BIGPENNGR.COM reports that President Buhari spoke after receiving reports of the brazen attack on Government Science College, Kagara, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.

A yet-to-be ascertained number of staff and students were abducted by gunmen during the Tuesday night raid on the school.

In a statement in Abuja, Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President, (Media and Publicity), said that following reports, the President has directed the Armed Forces and Police, to ensure immediate and safe return of all the captives.

The President has also dispatched to Minna, Niger State a team of security chiefs to coordinate the rescue operation and meet with state officials, community leaders, as well as parents and staff of the College.

President Buhari has assured of the support of his administration to the Armed Forces in their brave struggle against terrorism and banditry and urged them to do all that can be done to bring an end to this saga, and avoid such cowardly attacks on schools in the future.

“Our prayers are with families of the victims of this attack,” said the President as he condemned as cowardly the attack on innocent school children.
