Afather of two missing children, Malam Gambo Suleja, has said he is yet to find them since they disappeared in April last year.
Gambo, who spoke with our reporter yesterday, said the two children are Armayu Gambo, 5, and Fatima, 3.
He said his children got missing on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, at Garki old barracks in Suleja. He said he had made frantic efforts to find them but his efforts had not yielded positive results yet.
He said he had reported to the relevant security agencies in the area but they have not brought back his children.
“In fact, on the very day the children were declared missing, I quickly rushed to A police division where I opened a file but my children are nowhere to be found up till today, “he said.
Gambo, therefore, appealed to the general public to join him in prayers so that he can still find his two missing children alive.
When contacted, the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), of Niger state, ASP Peter Sunday, told our reporter via telephone that he was not deployed to Niger state at the time the children got missing. He advised the father of the children to write to serve as a reminder for onward action. The chairman of the FCT Secondary Education Board (SEB), Alhaji Musa Yahaya Muhammad, has called on All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) FCT chapter, not to compromise education standard in their respective schools.
Muhammad, who made the call when he received the chapter executives in his office on Monday, stressed the need for the principals to remain committed to the ethics of the teaching profession.
He said the development of a nation is anchored on the quality of its education system, urging them to be proactive in the discharge of their duties at their schools.
The board chairman further urged the principals not to condone any act of indiscipline in their various schools, saying “as principals, you can give sanctions to erring staff and students regardless of ethnicity and religious backgrounds,” he said.
