Kidnapped Lagos school students will soon return- Osinbajo

Acting President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has given assurances of the safe return of the kidnapped Lagos secondary school students. He urged parents and guardians of the kidnapped Lagos School boys not to lose hope on the return of their wards.

This is even as he assured that the Federal Government in collaboration with state authorities are working tirelessly to ensure their safe return.

Recall that on May 25, six secondary school boys of the school were abducted by unknown gunmen, this is even as four students and six staff of the same school were also kidnapped in October 2016.
