Gunmen attacked the school on Monday morning and kidnapped
25 female students during the raid.

Nafi’u Kotarkoshi, police spokesperson in Kebbi, said Hassan
Makuku, the school’s vice principal, lost his life during the attack, while Ali
Shehu, a security guard, sustained gunshot injuries to his right hand.

Reacting to the development in a statement, Idris said
Tinubu has condemned the attack and reaffirmed the federal government’s
commitment to protecting all Nigerians, especially schoolchildren.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has reiterated that
protecting every Nigerian, especially schoolchildren, remains a solemn
responsibility of the State. The government condemns the reprehensible attack
on innocent students and the killing of school officials who were carrying out
their noble duty,” he said.

“Our security and intelligence agencies have been issued
clear directives to locate, rescue, and safely return the students, and to
ensure that the perpetrators face justice. The Federal Government will not
relent until this objective is achieved.

“We assure Nigerians that strengthening internal security
remains a top priority. The Federal Government is recalibrating the nation’s
military, policing, and intelligence capabilities to more effectively prevent
these attacks and respond with greater speed and precision whenever threats
arise.

“Nigeria is also reinforcing cooperation with regional
partners through ECOWAS, the African Union, and the Multinational Joint Task
Force (MNJTF) to secure our borders and disrupt terrorist and criminal
networks. We urge the public to remain calm and confident as security forces
work around the clock to resolve this matter.”
