POCSOPE by Eddy Odivwri
Twenty nine days ago, some 39 students of the Federal College of Forestry and Mechanisation, Afaka, Kaduna were abducted. Last Monday, five of the abducted students were released by their abductors. It is not clear how and why just a few were released. The remaining 34 students are still being held captive.
Before the abduction, the state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai had been vocal on not having anything to do with bandits or terrorists which have severely harassed the people of the state. There is hardly a day past without an ugly news about how bandits have either killed dozens of persons, razed their homes or how persons have been kidnapped or subjected to other forms of dehumanization.
