The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari has apologized “for the incorrect communication citing that only 10 students were kidnapped at the science school, Kankara.”
Shehu tendered the apology on Friday after President Buhari met the 344 rescued students in Katsina.
“This communication of numbers was provided by persons that should ideally know. These numbers were seen to conflict with what was available at that time.
“Please understand that this communication was in no way done to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
“Please accept my sincere apologies on this matter as we continue to move our great Nation Nigeria forward. Thank you,” he said.
