Abduction Of Science Schools Students Across The North: A Tussled Conspiracy
By Comrade Maihula
AREWA AGENDA – Today more than anytime in the history of Northern Nigeria there has been a series of attacks and conspired killings directed towardsuu a certain Goals which no one can ever tell, this time around I am concerned about the coordinated abduction of students across schools in the North, but why the science ones ?
Being a product from one of the science colleges across the North (Dawakin Tofa Science College), I hold so much fact to lay my pen write the right answer to why this attacks is being centred on those citadel of learning’s, its clear enough to tell how good those students are whether you came from the North or else where I am sure you’ve make contacts with the science schools product in your career, be it during a national competition , university career or any place where intellectualism is played. The science schools in the North produce the most brilliant set of students that became prominent figures and drivers of solutions not to the North alone but everywhere in the world.
Recall from #KankaraSchoolStudentsAbduction
During the evening of 11 December 2020, over 300 pupilswere kidnapped from a boys’secondary boarding school on the outskirts ofKankara, Katsina State, northern Nigeria. A gang of gunmen on motorcycles attacked the Government Science Secondary School, where more than 800 pupils reside, for over an hour.
On 12 December, the armed forces said they found the gang’s hideout in a forest and exchanged gunfire with them.
On 13 December, an unidentified Beechcraft Super King Air 350i ISR aircraft was seen patrolling the eastern Kano region in search of the missing pupils. The Super King Air 350i ISR aircraft took off from Niamey and patrolled the Kano airspace for over 10 hours.The yet to be identified special mission aircraft was tracked using open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools, even though it blocked its Mode S tracking to conceal its identity.

On 14 December, Katsina’s governor Aminu Bello Masari said the kidnappers had contacted them and negotiations were ongoing for the release of the students. An audio message was released on 15 December, purporting to be from Boko Haramleader Abubakar Shekau, claiming that the group kidnapped the students. However, no proof was provided by the man in the audio.A video released later with the group’s emblem purported to show it with some of the kidnapped boys.
Information minister Lai Mohammed denied Boko Haram’s hand and said the kidnapping was done by bandits. Officials from Katsina and Zamfara states
later said that the abductions were carried out by criminal gangs, consisting mostly of former Fulani herders who wanted to take revenge against others through the kidnapping. Northwest Nigeria has previously clashes between mostly Fulani herders and the mostlyHausa farmers. They told Reuters that they established contact with the kidnappers through their clan, a cattle breeders’ association and reformed gang members. The gang members accused vigilante groups of killing herders and taking their cows.
On 17 December, Masari said that 344 of the victims had been freed from where they were being held in a wood in neighbouring Zamfara State. (Credit : Wikipedia)
This week the attack was on another science school from the North and no one cares to #CheckBalance the conspiracy behind the motives ? I swear to God this attacks on science schools in the North is being carried out by same people and same group and they are doing it for a given goal which if you continue to sleep without actions will one day come to our doors!
My Question ?
Is this attacks coordinated to prevent science schools from preparing Northern Kids to be brilliant or what is the motives behind this target ? Feel free to share your thoughts under the comment box I will add it to the piece and republish it with you.
Government lied to us about the terms of negotiations with abductors we have heard that severally what they kept saying was they have identified the threats they failed to eliminate . Could this be because of what they benefit from the venture or its a #POLITICAL PLOTS to make the poor suffer in revenge to the mistakes made by our leaders up North ? Our message is clear “THIS HOUSE WOULD BE SEALED WITH YOUTHS POWER”
Northern Nigeria shall never fall because of the evil plans against its progress, we must unite and show ourselves love and solidarity in order to eliminate our common enemies. Its time to wake up North!
