Hon. Gumi condemns abduction of Jangebe schoolgirls, calls for their immediate release

Hon. Sulaiman Abubakar Gumi, member representing Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency has condemned the abduction of 317 schoolgirls of Government Girls Science Secondary School Jangebe in Talata Mafara LGA in the early hours of today,  Friday, February 26th, 2021.
He described the abduction as “unfortunate,” while stressing that those bent on discrediting the peace initiative of Dr Bello Muhammad Matawalle will fail.
“This is an unfortunate incident but I believe those who are hell bent in discrediting the peace initiative of Dr Bello Muhammad Matawalle will soon be put to shame.”
He commend the swift response of the combined team of military and police in the Zamfara and call on the abductors of the schoolgirls to refrain from abusing the peaceful deposition of Dr. Matawalle by releasing the girls immediately.
Gumi noted that independent studies by the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) and Global Rights have confirmed the effectiveness of Matawalle’s dialogue model as such for anyone to engage the services of unrepentant bandits for personal gain is a disservice to the people of Zamfara.
He, therefore, urged the Governor to remain focused in implementing his peace initiative, adding that the good people of Zamfara are mindful of where they were and where they are today.
