Following the abduction of students at Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, the home state of President Buhari, Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has said that the situation indicates that no place is safe again in the country.
According to him: “If hundreds of students could be abducted in Katsina, the home state of the president, no place is safe again.”
