Kebbi State Governor, ATIKU BAGUDU, has said the state will not negotiate with the bandits.
He also vowed to lead the rescue operation of students and teachers abducted from the Federal Government College, BirninYauri, in Ngaski Local Government Area of the state.
Bagudu made the promise when members of the State Hunters Association visited him at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.
While addressing the hunters, BAGUDU said he will join them and lead the rescue operation once he gets clearance from security agencies.
The Senator Representing Kebbi North, YAHAYA ABDULLAHI, has blamed what he describes as a poor security arrangement in the country for the Kebbi School abduction.
While speaking on the matter, ABDULLAHI said the number of security personnel, specifically policemen across the country, is grossly insufficient to fight the level of insecurity the country grapples with.
According to him, in the entire nation, there are only 350,000 policemen, adding one of the solutions would be to allow more community policing.
The Senate Majority Leader believes that banditry in the country has become a recurring decimal and should not be seen as something that is just happening today.
