Boko Haram: Katsina to employ 1000 security men for secondary schools

Katsina State Governor Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari disclosed during the 3rd convocation ceremony of the Umaru Musa Yar'Adua University (UMYU) that Katsina State is employing 1000 watchmen to act as guides to schools across the State.

The Governor said the action was a proactive measure by the state government taking into consideration the insecurity in the secondary schools across the country especially the boarding schools.

In his words: "Taking into consideration the present security situations across the country especially in the Boarding Secondary Schools, the state government has approved the employment of 1,000 watchmen for all the secondary schools in the state."

It would be recalled that on the 19th February this year, about 110 school girls of Government Girls Technical Science College, Dapchi, Yobe State were abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents, out which 104 were reportedly released Wednesday from their captivity.

Precisely 14th April, 2014 over 200 Chibok school girls were also abducted in their hostels in Borno state by the insurgents.
