Daniel Bwala, a former ally of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said that it is possible to secure the release of schoolchildren recently kidnapped in Kaduna and Sokoto states within 15 days.

Bwala, former spokesman of the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, stated this in an interview on AriseTV on Friday, March 15.

He said Tinubu should direct the service chiefs to ensure the rescue of the girls or face the risk of being sacked.

“Mr President can get these children back within 15 days, he should instruct the service chiefs to ensure they are rescued in 15 days or he relieves them of their duties,” Bwala said.

Recall that terrorists kidnapped 280 students and staff of a school in Kuriga, Kaduna State, during school hours last Thursday.

The abductors demanded N1 billion naira as ransom for the schoolchildren.

Meanwhile, terrorists also kidnapped 16 students of a Qur’anic school in Sokoto State, demanding N20 million as ransom.
