He restated that the PDP believes that the life, safety and well-being of all Nigerians remain of paramount importance to it and therefore insists that all efforts must be exerted to recover the pupils.

He called on the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, to put every machinery in motion for their rescue.

Ologbondiyan said, “The PDP is monitoring development on the position of the Nigeria Police investigation of the matter.

“We, however, charge the Inspector General of Police to immediately put all machinery in place to unravel this disturbing situation and recover the missing children.

“We also urge the Federal Government to live up to its basic responsibility of protecting lives and property in our country.”
