The President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Dr. Israel Akanji, has said 28 pupils of Bethel Baptist High School, Damishi, Kaduna were still in the hands of the bandit who invaded the school on Monday morning.
The NBC president who said this in a statement on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 urged the Federal and Kaduna State Governments to do everything to ensure the release of the remaining students while asking parents whose children were still in captivity to remain calm.
He said everything would be done to ensure their release, as he asked members of the Baptist family and Nigerians to join the Church in prayer for the release of the pupils.
The statement read, “To the glory of God, 28 students have been reunited with their families, while 125 students are yet to be accounted for.
“We have been reliably informed that search and rescue operations are ongoing, involving the Nigeria Army, the Nigeria Airforce and other security agencies and we strongly believe that, by the grace of God, these students will safely return to their parents soon
“The situation in which we have found ourselves is indeed pathetic, particularly for the parents of the kidnapped students and the school community. We feel their pain and our prayer is that God Almighty will arise and intervene in this unfortunate incident.”
