By Benjamin Arida/:

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed overwhelming joy following the release of the Jangebe schoolgirls abducted last Friday in Zamfara State.

In a statement signed by Garba Shehu, the SSA media to the President, “I join the families and people of Zamfara State in welcoming and celebrating the release of these traumatized female students”

President Buhari said he was excited that their ordeal came to a happy end without any incident.

He said “being held in captivity is an agonizing experience not only for the victims, but also their families and all of us.”

However, while celebrating the release of the students, the President called for greater vigilance by the people so that human intelligence could be collected early enough to nip the bandits’ plans in the bud.

Buhari warned that the time has come to reverse, completely, the grim and heartbreaking incidents of kidnapping.

“Ransom payments will continue to prosper kidnapping,” he warned, while urging the Police and the Military to go after these kidnappers and bring them to justice.
