The Governor of the State of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, has issued a reason why he pulled his son from Kaduna Capital School, several months after registering it to a public school.
While telling that Bandit threatened to kidnap his son, Nasir El-Rufai said that he did not know the type of weapon they would follow and that was why he ordered his son to be expelled from school.
Torixus previously reported that the governor 'secretly' pulled his 7-year-old son, Abubakar al-Sadiq El-Rufai, from Kaduna Capital School.
Last year, he enrolled it in one of the oldest public schools in the north.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin on Friday, July 2, the governor noted that the bandits targeted his son because his attitude was against the ransom for the kidnapper.
While giving the reason why he decided to take Abubakar Al-Sadiq El-Rufai from school, he said that even though there would be enough security to satisfy any attacks, but it would expose other children to danger. And that security operators do not know the type of weapon that will come.
"We don't know what weapons they will follow. I have taken a stance against bandits who pay and at least three different groups of bandits have been intercepted while planning to go to Kaduna Capital School and kidnap my child." He said.
El-Rufai has made his opinion known about paying a ransom for bandits. He has said that routine actions to pay ransom for bandits are the reason why bandits are increasing the northern part of the country.
The months after his opinion was known, he pulled his son from a public school, said that he did not know the type of weapon that would be attacked by bandits.
