Families Of Abducted Zamfara Students Fix Date To Hold Protests In Abuja, Others

The relatives of the abducted students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, have fixed October 1, 2023, for a massive protest to demand the immediate rescue of their children.

Naija News gathered that the protest will take place during the 63rd Independence Anniversary celebration in some Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

A sister to Hafsat, one of the kidnapped final-year students at the university, confirmed this to SaharaReporters on Friday morning.

Hafsat’s sister revealed further that the kidnappers had not reached out to the affected families and they were in the dark over the whereabouts of the kidnapped students.

She said, “Yes. Around 20 of them are still with the kidnappers Well after our hashtag trended on Nigerian Twitter on Monday this week, we decided to organise a peaceful protest during the 1st of October celebration in some Northern states and the federal capital city.”

According to her, the protest will start from Abuja and Kaduna before other concerned residents will join in other northern cities.

Recall that some terrorists kidnapped over 100 students of the school during an invasion of the female hostels at Sabon-Gida identified as Nazeer Sabon-Gida.
