Kankara abduction: kidnappers used students as human shield when engaging troops – DHQ

The Defence Headquarters says its inability to rescue the abducted Kankara Science school students was because of its resolve to reduce human casualties.

The Coordinator of the Defence Media Operation, Major General John Enenche, while speaking to reporters in Abuja, said the abductors used the students as human shields during their escape thus the military’s inability to engage them during the abduction.
