The parents of the abducted students of the Federal Government College (FGC), Birnin Yauri have organised a special prayer to seek God’s intervention for the release of their children.
A month ago, 96 staff and students of the college were abducted by bandits and they have been in captivity since then.

“Since the occurrence of the ugly incident, Ulamas from across the emirate have been in prayers.”
Also in his remark, the Chairman of Ngaski Local Government Council, Buhari Abdullahi, told the parents of the abducted children that the government was working round the clock to ensure that the victims were not only rescued but united with their families unharmed.
