While condemning the act in its entirety, Magashi said it is high time the Federal Government declared these kinds of people as terrorists because it would in effect encourage people to sit up.

He, therefore, declared that with the briefs received from the sister security agencies in the State, the task of rescuing the abducted students would be a very simple one.
