Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro the Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC), has said the kidnapping and release of 344 Kankara schoolboys is a mere drama by Northern leaders, saying it’s an award-winning drama of the year, 2020.

According to a signed statement to the press, Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the group Secretary-General, wondered what could make Northern leaders to stage-manage such drama instead of accepting their leadership failure. He queried if the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau provided the new blankets displayed by the 344 abducted pupils.

The statement reads;
“The evidence of (provisions of) new blankets for over 344 pupils of Kankara boys by Boko haram insurgents makes the abduction fake or jankara and organizers of the drama as amateurs,”

OYC continued by saying that the “Northern leaders have refused to accept their leadership failures in governance, most of their political leaders are behind the insecurity situations in the north and are benefiting immensely from the huge budgetary allocations mapped out for insecurity challenges, the Kankara boys abduction is business as usual for Northern leaders.”
