Acting President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has assured parents of the kidnapped Lagos School boys not to lose hope on the return of their wards saying that the Federal Government in collaboration with relevant State Authorities are working round the clock to ensure their safe return.
It would be recalled that on 25th May, 2017, 6 secondary school boys were abducted in Ikorodu by unknown gunmen.
, this is even as four students and six staff of the same school were also kidnapped in October 2016.
Speaking with reporters in Lagos during the birthday thanksgiving service of Pastor Salami Ololade on Sunday, the Acting President said, “Though it is a very traumatic experience for the parents, there should be no doubt at all about the commitment of government”.

“ I don’t know how many times the governor has spoken to me about this and the Inspector General of Police, the Commissioner of Police, the DSS and even the Armed Forces”.
“I am sure these children will return as quickly as possible, so we look forward to their return”.
The Acting President advised children who are on holidays to learn something new pointing out that, “Since it is a long holiday, it is a great time to do something new. Those who like to learn a skill, whatever skill that may be. I wish that when I was growing up, I learned even carpentry”.
Osinbajo said learning something new by school children on holiday would impact their lives and those of their communities in new fields of technology.
