The delegation led by the Kaduna Commissioner of Education,  Shehu Mohammed, visited the families of the students in Jaji, Barnawa, and Sabon Tasha areas in Igabi and Chikun Local Government Areas on Monday, April 26. 

According to Channels TV, While consoling the parents of the deceased students over the unfortunate incident,  the Commissioner reiterated the state government’s position not to negotiate with bandits.
