333 Students Abducted In Katsina, Boko Haram Claims Responsiblity

I am still in shock at news of the recent kidnapping of about 400 students from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, in Katsina State which happened a few days ago, on Friday precisely. As a mother, it is just too terrifying for words!

Now the dreaded Boko Haram sect have come out to say they are responsible for this dastardly act. The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, made this known in an almost 5 minutes recording which was released in the early hours of today where he said the kidnap was was carried out to “promote islam and discourage un-islamic practices as Western education is not the type of education permitted by Allah and his Holy Prophet''

Remember that this same group was also behind the 2014 abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls in Chibok!

Again I ask, which way Nigeria? When does all these kind of atrocity end? Please pray for the safe return of these boys to their families.
