 And former students of Bethel Baptist High School have escaped from their abductors. This brings to a total of 34 who have regained their freedom, including 28, who were earlier released and two others who also escaped days earlier. In the wake of this, analysts have criticized the government's handling of the situation. Osaregia Bono gives us more insight in this report. In the early hours of July 5th, bandits in their numbers invaded the Bethel Baptist High School, Damishi Kaduna State, and abducted over 100 students. Since then, they have been run some payments, escapes and releases of some of these victims. Reacting to the recent development, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria Kaduna State Chapter and security expert Chidio Mejia described the situation as sad. They criticize the Kaduna State government for its attitude towards the kidnapping. One of the challenges with Nigeria is that when you start guiding leaders or offer advice, they will say, you want to teach me my job. And so sometimes we don't want to become teachers of people's in their job. He has been raped, he's shown consigned. So that's the word he's shown consigned. But we've had a lot of consign. We don't want consign. We want action that will stop our children from becoming afraid of coming out. The Kaduna State's official response to all of these, with all due respect, is very, very irresponsible. I use that word because you cannot tell me that you are not going to engage in run some payments. Meanwhile, we are not able to provide the adequate measures that will give security to other schools. So if the school, if the kids are, you know, have been put in a way that they need to kidnap them, then you must get the consequences. You should be able to find a way to rescue them. Analysts have also shared their expectations and disappointments with security agencies who say they should be able to do more to secure the release of these kidnapped victims. Sales keep lapping business, such as in Kaduna, people have always escaped somehow. So that shows that these kidnappers are not what we are renting them to be. I believe that we have capacity in Nigeria that we can stop these people using technology, using more than equipment, using everything within our reach. The issues we are given that we are just afraid of casualties have only made more casualties. These are windows, these are opportunities for the state to move in. They have to find a way to, you know, get intel from the ones that have escaped to find a way to get them. It is very clear that those guys, if the kids are able to escape one time, second time, third time, it means that if we add more pressure, we can actually, you know, surround the entire environment and get those guys, you know, running over and probably, you know, be treated. So far, 83 students still remain in the hands of their abductors and families wait in anticipation of their release. Osaogye Ogbama, Plus TV Africa. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
