Following the abduction of schoolgirls from Government Secondary School, Jangebe in Zamfara State on Friday, the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has condemned the attack.
Lawan gave his remark in a statement by his media aide, Ola Awoniyi, in Abuja.
According to the Statement, the Senate President expressed sadness and outrage that the incident happened while efforts were still being made to rescue those abducted just over a week ago at another secondary school in Kagara, Niger State.
He, however stated that the recurrent attacks on schools and other acts of banditry called for intense soul searching on how the nation arrived at this sorry path and how to cage the monster of violent crimes in Nigeria.
Lawan also expressed his sympathy for the abducted schoolgirls and urged the authorities at all levels to work together to ensure their immediate rescue.
