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.

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.

The chairman pointed out  that,  the affected families and their relations were undergoing extreme trauma courtesy of the abduction of their loved ones by the criminals. 

The affected parents under the umbrella of the Protection Against the Abduction/Missing of Our Children, who spoke to Radio Nigeria demanded for thorough investigation into the matter.
