Northern Students Demand Troops Deployment to Campuses over Insecurity

John Shiklam in Kaduna

The students’ wing of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG- SW) has called for the deployment of security to campuses.

Addressing a news conference yesterday in Kaduna, National Coordinator of the CNG- SW, Hassan Adamu, expressed concern over growing  insecurity in campuses in the North.

He  lamented that banditry attacks and  kidnapping of students were becoming the new normal, saying insecurity has led to the withdrawal of female students from school.

The group, therefore, called on President Bola Tinubu to  reform  the security architecture of the country to tackle   criminal elements as students “will no longer tolerate flimsy excuses and  blame game.

“We call on the president to revisit the approach and reform the security architecture of the nation. We will no longer tolerate flimsy excuses and the blame game.

“We also request for the deployment of troops to all campuses to ease the anxiety among students,” the group said.
