“The President assured us that the Federal Government through the security agencies, will ensure the safe return of our daughters from their captivity,” he said.

Th Governor further stated that: “Our Security Services are up and doing, I personally went to Maga to see the situation by myself, to commiserate with the parents and the family of the staff killed.
