Former Senator, Shehu Sani, has insisted that the Federal Government of Nigeria and the security agencies in the country have failed to protect Katsina
Shehu, in a statement issued on Friday, said the Emir, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk, led District Heads and traditional title holders to receive the President at the Helipad in Daura.
The presidential aide said the President is expected to, among other engagements, participate in the All Progressives Party (APC) membership registration and revalidation exercise in the course of his stay in Daura.
He said President Buhari considered the exercise as a very important one for the nation’s democracy and its yearning for good leadership as a requirement of the process of nation building.
He recalled that President Buhari had in a broadcast last week urged “all good people,” not only to speak but to rise up and “get involved in the task of improving their society,” adding that “for most citizens, their greatest weapon is their vote. Register now for your Party and register when the time comes for elections.”

Annas Shuaibu says he awoke to the sound of gunshots fired by men who burst into his boarding school in northwest Nigeria in a nighttime raid. He and hundreds of other boys were rounded up and forcibly marched out of the school and into a nearby forest.
After several hours trekking through woodland, the gunmen ordered them to stop walking and warned them not to try to flee, Shuaibu said. They said even if you tried to escape, or we allowed you to run, you will go nowhere. Rather, you will die in the forest, he said.

More than 300 schoolboys kidnapped last week in an attack on their school in northwest Nigeria have returned home. The capital of Katsina state celebrated their release as the boys arrived by bus on Friday.
The boys were abducted one week ago from the all-boys Government Science Secondary School in Kankara in Katsina State.
Nigeria s Boko Haram jihadist rebels claimed responsibility for the abduction, saying they attacked the school because it believes Western education is un-Islamic, factional leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video earlier this week.
More than 800 students were at the school at the time of the attack.
