President Bola Tinubu has condemned the abductions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Borno and students in Kaduna state.
About 287 students went missing after bandits attacked the
Government Secondary School in Kuruga, Chikun LGA of Kaduna state on Thursday.
Pupils and staff of the Local Education Authority (LEA)
Primary School in the community were also abducted.
In Borno, over 200 IDPs were kidnapped by bandits from their
camp in Ngala LGA of Borno on Tuesday.
In a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson,
Tinubu directed security and intelligence agencies to immediately rescue the
victims and ensure that justice is served against the perpetrators of these
abominable acts.
“I have received a briefing from security chiefs on the two
incidents, and I am confident that the victims will be rescued. Nothing else is
acceptable to me and the waiting family members of these abducted citizens.
Justice will be decisively administered,” Tinubu said.
The president sympathised with the families of the victims,
assuring them that they will soon be reunited with their loved ones.
When will he visit the sites of these kidnappings? When will Mr. President visit the families to empathize with them? All these “assurances” are mere rhetorics and the bandits know it.
