Atiku describes Kebbi, Zamfara abductions as ‘barbarity’ act

Date:

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the recent abductions of students at the Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School in Kebbi State.

He also frowned at the mass abductions in Tsafe LGA of Zamfara State.

In a post on his official X handle, the former Vice President called on the Federal Government to urgently review and strengthen the nation’s security architecture, deploy adequate personnel across vulnerable communities, and intensify intelligence-led operations.

His post read: “I am devastated by the news of the tragic attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, which claimed the life of the Vice-Principal and led to the abduction of innocent students.

“This is yet another reminder of the worsening insecurity in our nation.

“I equally condemn the killing of an APC chieftain, Umar Moriki, and the mass abductions in Tsafe LGA of Zamfara, where entire families, including women and children, were taken by bandits. These acts of barbarity have no place in a civilized society.

“Similar tragedies continue to unfold in Plateau, Benue, and other states, where communities are being torn apart by violence. In Shanono LGA of Kano, residents are fleeing their homes in fear, highlighting a national security challenge that has reached intolerable levels.

“Nigeria cannot continue on this path. I call on the Federal Government to urgently review and strengthen its security architecture, deploy adequate personnel across vulnerable communities, and intensify intelligence-led operations. Our citizens deserve protection, dignity, and peace, nothing less.-AA”
