The Northern States Governors Forum says it is distressed with the killing of three students recently abducted at the Greenfield University, Kaduna State by their kidnappers, saying it is uncalled for.

Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong, while reacting to the incident described the murder of the young innocent students as shocking, barbaric and condemnable.

Lalong said there was no justification for the kidnap and murder of innocent students who were simply in school to study and prepare themselves for service to the nation, saying the action was an act of sheer wickedness that must not be allowed to go unpunished.

While commiserating with the families of the murdered students, the governors called for the immediate and unconditional release of the other students still under captivity.
