Following the release of the abducted Kuriga schoolchildren in Kaduna State, a security expert, Bulama Bukarti, says the events leading to their freedom remains unclear.
Parallel Facts had reported on March 24 that Kaduna State Government announced the release of the 287 schoolchildren kidnapped from Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State.
However, Bukarti has emphasized that it is important for Nigerians to understand the details of how the children were ultimately released.
He stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
In his words, “I have been investigating the circumstances of their release and whether anyone was arrested and what were the terms of the release or how were they rescued if they were rescued, I did not find any information to that effect.”
“As Nigerians, we have the right to know how our government is proceeding with securing us, how our government is using our resources and how our government is dealing with criminal elements or terrorists elements among us.”
He added, “We have the right to know by law but we also have the right to know as Nigerians so that we may have confidence in our country.”
