Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the abduction of former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu’s family members in Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a statement on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Phrank
Shaibu, Atiku said the unfortunate incident showed that no Nigerian is safe
under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that Adelabu’s sister and her children
were abducted by kidnappers.
The Oyo State Police Command confirmed the abduction and
announced that an investigation is ongoing.
Reacting, Atiku condemned the incident and called for the
victims’ unconditional release.
He expressed solidarity with the Adelabu family and noted
that the unfortunate incident once again exposes the frightening depth of
Nigeria’s insecurity crisis.
Ariku described it as particularly shocking that such a
brazen abduction reportedly occurred in the heart of Ibadan at the bustling
Challenge Bus Stop, one of the city’s busiest and most recognisable locations.
“If the endless cries of ordinary Nigerians were not enough
to spur this government into action, one would have expected that an attack
affecting the family of a former member of the administration would finally
underscore the urgency of the crisis. Sadly, insecurity has become so pervasive
that no one is truly insulated from its consequences”, Atiku stated.
He therefore called on the Tinubu administration to abandon
its reactive approach to security and immediately implement a comprehensive,
intelligence-driven strategy capable of dismantling kidnapping syndicates,
securing vulnerable communities, and restoring public confidence in the state’s
ability to protect lives and property.
