The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has strongly condemned the night attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in the Zuru Emirate of Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The assault resulted in the killing of the school’s Vice Principal, Malam Hassan Yakubu Makuku, and the abduction of several students.
Matawalle described the attack as “unacceptable,” calling on security agencies to intensify coordinated efforts to ensure the safe rescue of the kidnapped girls.
According to the Minister, “The government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has directed that the state’s security apparatus swing into immediate action to ensure the abducted students are released unharmed.”
He appealed for calm in the affected communities and urged residents to continue their normal activities while security forces respond to the situation.
Matawalle also extended his condolences to the bereaved, saying, “I pray to Allah to grant him mercy, a peaceful resting place, and to console his family and loved ones over this painful and unjust loss.”
