President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday expressed happiness over the release of 27 students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka, near Kaduna, held captive by bandits.

This is as he appealed for the release of Greenfield University students and other citizens held captive.

He expressed the determination of his administration to ensure that Nigerians lived in a country where everyone could move where they wanted and when they wanted without the fear of kidnapping and banditry.

Expressing happiness over the release of the forestry students, he congratulated their friends, families and the government and people of Kaduna State following the happy end to the saga.

“We are happy they have been released,” says the president.

“We express our deep appreciation to all the actors who contributed one way or the other to this happy outcome, in particular the defence and security agencies, the officials of the Ministry of Environment and the government of Kaduna State. We thank Nigerians for their prayers.”

President Buhari called for steadfastness and security awareness on the part of citizens and the law enforcement agencies and deplores the increasing politicisation of security in the country by opportunistic politicians.
