Moving the motion, Raji stressed the need to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of the act.
The lawmaker said “This unfortunate incident is a setback to the expansion of access to education and determination of parents to ensure that their wards get basic education’’, he said.
The House condemned the action of the abductors under whatever guise, adding that it was against the tenet of seeking qualitative education.
