The President Muhammadu Buhari administration was, last week, hit with another pitiable tale of students’ abduction.
This time around, it was in a secondary school in Kagara, Niger State, where bandits, in the dead of the night, whisked away 27 pupils, 3 staff, and 12 members of their family.
Sadly, this comes at a time Nigerians are yet to fully recover from the bad effects of the Chibok, Dapchi and Kankara students’ abductions in Borno, Yobe and Katsina States respectively.
This, and other engaging stories dotted Aso Rock in the past week.

President Muhammadu Buhari said Tuesday that few Nigerians with ‘resources and influence’ were responsible for the upheavals being witnessed in parts of the country.
According to his spokesperson, Mr Buhari said this during a meeting at the State House Abuja with a delegation of Borno/Yobe Elders Forum.
“I am confident that we will eventually convince the small number of people with resource and influence that are a nuisance to this great country. God willing, we will identify them, and deal with them. I am extremely concerned about your constituency like the rest of the country,” the president said.
