The governor urged parents to remain vigilant and attentive to the well-being of their children as a fundamental responsibility and called upon his counterpart, the Bauchi State Governor, to take decisive legal action against the arrested suspects.

The governor also recalled the case of 11 Kano children who were reportedly abducted and sold in Anambra a few years ago.

In response to the issue, Malam Sa’ad from Bauchi, a parent of one of the stolen children, Abdulmutallif, appreciated Governor Yusuf and the Kano State Commissioner of Police.

The nine suspects had been apprehended by the Kano State Police Command at Mariri Motor Park in Kano while they were about to travel to Lagos with the stolen children.

Speaking on behalf of the Bauchi State government, Barrister Sha’awanatu Yusuf, the Director of Public Prosecution at the state Ministry of Justice, emphasized the unity of Kano and Bauchi for the greater good.

She stated that the Bauchi State government would take the necessary legal steps to ensure that the suspects are brought to justice and face the full consequences of the law.

Meanwhile, Governor Yusuf has donated the sum of N500,000 to each of the seven rescued children.
