The Coalition for Peace and National Security (CPNS) has condemned Friday’s attack on Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, by bandits saying it was a sad reminder of the terrorists’ attacks on Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State and Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, in Yobe State.
The coalition in a statement jointly signed by its National Coordinator, Dr. Mohammed Maigoro and National Secretary, Tunde Funsho, said the attack was a further confirmation that the country was not secure.
It therefore reiterated the call for the President to rejig the security structure of the country and sack the Service Chiefs.
The statement read: “We received the news of the attack on Government Science Secondary School, Kankara in Katsina State, where at least 600 out of 800 students of the school are reportedly missing with shock.

“This latest action by bandits is a sad reminder of the past similar ones on Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State and Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State that left some students dead and others missing.
“We urge security agencies to immediately swing into action in not only rescuing the missing students but also apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
“This latest development is a yet another confirmation that the country is porous without security and given this bad situation, we wish to without any hesitation join the clarion call on our dear President, Muhammadu Buhari, to immediately rejig the nation’s security architecture beginning with the sack of service chiefs who apart from overstaying in office, have become exhausted to face the increasingly worsening security situation of our country.”
