Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, has apologised to Nigerians over his claim that only 10 students of Government Science Secondary School Kankara Katsina State were abducted by gunmen.
He gave the apology in a series of tweets this evening.
Shehu wrote, “I apologize for the incorrect communication citing that only 10 students were kidnapped at the science school, Kankara.
“This communication of numbers was provided by persons that should ideally know. These numbers were seen to conflict with what was available at that time.
“Please understand that this communication was in no way done to downplay the seriousness of the situation.
“Please accept my sincere apologies on this matter as we continue to move our great Nation Nigeria forward. Thank you.”
A total of 344 schoolboys were released by the gunmen yesterday after they were kidnapped from their school last Friday.
