The Kano State Government has ordered the closure of 12 of its boarding schools out of 50 across the state to avoid criminal abductions prevalent in other northern states.
Malam Muhammad Kiru, the state Commissioner for Education, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Kano.
According to him, the decision to close the schools followed the recent kidnapping of some female students in Niger and Zamfara States.
“It was necessary for the Kano State Government to take proactive measures to prevent the occurrence of such incidents in our schools.

“The affected schools include Boarding Secondary School Ajingi; Government Girls Boarding School Sumaila; Government Girls Boarding School Jogana, and Government Girls Boarding School Gezawa.
