The Senate has called for the immediate rescue of abducted female students of Federal University in Gusau, Zamfara State, by yet-to-be-identified bandits.
The suspected bandits kidnapped a significant number of students of the university in the early hours of Friday
The Chairman Senate Committee on the Army, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’ Adua, made the call in a statement in Abuja on Monday.
He said rescuing the innocent female students from captivity of the bandits, must be the topmost priority of the country now.
Yar’Adua decried that the scourge of banditry and insurgency by criminal elements in the country with attendant abduction of law-abiding citizens was a serious dent to the image of the country and the collective conscience of Nigerians.
“This is a moment that demands swift and decisive action. We cannot underestimate the trauma and anguish that these young girls and their families are experiencing right now.
