President Muhammadu Buhari has come under attack over the abduction of school boys at the Government Science Secondary School, GSS, in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State during his visit to Daura, Katsina.
Police confirmed on Saturday that unknown gunmen attacked the school and kidnapped some students.
The recent abduction of students has again raised concerns by Nigerians over the increasing insecurity in the country.
Some Nigerians on social media described the abduction as a shame to the President at a time when he is currently visiting Daura not far from the place of the abduction.
Buhari on Friday departed Abuja to spend one week in his hometown Daura, Katsina State.
Here are some comments gathered by Nigerians from Twitter:
@AminuYaro_ “ If Bandits can attack a Government School Kankara Katsina (President’s state) while he’s in Daura, then I’m sorry to say Buhari is the most Incompetent President in term of examining the fundamental act of Government. If you can’t do anything, at least protect lives.”
@Chefdonaldido “ Our Chibok girls some are still in captivity. The #LekkiMassaccre, 46 farmers that were slain in day. Now #KankaraStudent and you’ve not shewed any concern rather sent in prayers. Sir @MBuhari you’ve failed Nigeria.”
@Realoilsheikh “ Dear President Buhari, allegedly, 600 students were kidnapped a stone throw away from where a President visited is the height of it. You have failed Nigeria, you have failed us particularly as a region and it shows that you cannot #SecureNorth. “

@TahaAdam_ “ We castigated Jonathan for Chibok girls, Armed men stormed a school in Kankara Katsina and went away with scores of students! We called Jonathan a failure why are we finding it hard to call Buhari a failure?
