The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigeria’s security chiefs to address insecurity immediately following the recent abduction of school pupils and teachers in Oyo State.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made the demand known in a
statement on Wednesday.
Recall that at least 30 pupils and seven teachers were
abducted by bandits from Community High School and L.A. Basic School, Ahoro
Esinele, and First Baptist School (Nursery and Primary), Yawota, all in Oriire
Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Thereafter, one of the teachers was reportedly decapitated
by the bandits.
The development has stirred reactions from Nigerians
demanding immediate action to rescue the abducted pupils and teachers.
Reacting, the union said the Nigerian government at all
levels must wake up.
“Our security agencies should do a thorough soul-searching.
It is superfluous to say it is their sacred duty to protect lives and property.
We believe where there is a will, there will be a way. Address this challenge
before it is too late.
“We demand action now. We have had enough of sermons and
condolence messages. For how long should we continue to bleed like this?” the
labour union stated.
