From Olanrewaju Lawal, Birnin Kebbi
Emir of Zuru, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi Mika’ilu Sami, has expressed gratitude to Allah, the Federal Government and the Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Nasir Idris, for the rescue of the 24 abducted students of the Government Girls’ Secondary School, Maga.
Addressing newsmen shortly after a reception for the rescued students in Birnin Kebbi, the Emir said parents and entire people of the Emirate were relieved of the pain and emotional burdens caused by the abduction.
He disclosed that since the abduction, Governor Idris had been having sleepless nights, monitoring the rescue operation between the defence headquarters and the office of the National Security Adviser in order to ensure that no stone was left unturned in the strategic operations.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Communication and Strategy, Alhaji Abdullahi Idris Zuru, stated that the Emir also recalled other remarkable patriotic services provided by Governor Idris in Zuru Emirate.
He expressed happiness for Allah’s divine intervention, relentless prayers by the religious leaders and support of concerned Nigerians that eventually produced the desired results.
The royal father also praised the wife of the governor, Hajiya Zainab Nasare Nasir Idris, for hosting the students before they departed to their homes.
The Emir urged the governor to convey the appreciation of the people of Zuru Emirate to President Bola Tinubu for saving the traumatised parents who have now recovered.
“The Emir reiterated his conviction that the pressure mounted on the security agencies, the doggedness of Governor Idris and above all, the divine intervention of God were responsible for the timely rescue and safe return of the abducted students,” the statement said.
