Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take decisive disciplinary action against the military officer who ordered troops to leave a school in Kebbi State shortly before terrorists stormed the facility and abducted students.
Speaking during Wednesday’s plenary, Senator Abaribe quoted the Kebbi State Governor as saying the troops were ordered to withdraw, after which the kidnapping took place, yet no one has been questioned or held responsible.
“The governor of Kebbi said that somebody ordered the troops out, and people were kidnapped. Till today, nobody in Nigeria knows what happened. No questions have been asked, and we are sitting down as parliament, talking and talking, yet somebody is responsible,” Abaribe told the Senate.
He insisted that President Tinubu must demonstrate strong leadership by sanctioning the officer in charge, warning that failure to act sends the wrong signal in the fight against insecurity.
The Senate has now resolved to invite the service chiefs to explain why troops were pulled out of the school and to account for similar incidents across the country.
