Parents of missing children in Kano state, have called on the state government to set up a commission, that would ensure speedy investigation and release of their children.
The chairman of the group Comrade Isma'il Ibrahim Muhammad made the call in Kano.
According to him , their children are still under the custody of a criminal syndicate, who specialised in abducting and selling under aged children.
Comrade Isma'il explained that , a syndicate specialised in kidnapping young children from Kano to the Southern part of the country, rename, convert and sell them to others.
He stressed that, over six hundred children were abducted in the last few years, and only 18 have so far been reunited with their families.
