Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has said that the government is searching for 333 pupils, following an attack on Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, in the state.
He told a Federal Government delegation, on Sunday, that search efforts were on while the government was liaising with parents to know how many pupils had returned home.
He said: “Based on the available record we have, we are still searching for 333 students through either the forest or their parents to ascertain the actual number that have been kidnapped. We are still counting because more are coming out from the forest and we are calling through the numbers those parents that have phone numbers to find out whether or not their children have gone back home.
We as government we are yet to be contacted by any group or person responsible for the kidnap of the students.”
