Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed shock and anger over the deadly attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State.
Atiku said he was “devastated by the news of the tragic attack which claimed the life of the Vice-Principal and led to the abduction of innocent students.”
He described the incident as yet another reminder of the worsening insecurity in our nation.
He also condemned the killing of an APC chieftain, Umar Moriki, and the mass abductions in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara, where entire families including women and children were taken by bandits.
According to him: “These acts of barbarity have no place in a civilized society.”
Atiku noted that similar violent incidents were occurring in Plateau, Benue, and other states, tearing communities apart.
He added that residents in Shanono local government area of Kano were now fleeing their homes, saying the situation highlighted a national security challenge that has reached intolerable levels.
He called on the Federal Government to urgently overhaul its security system.
Atiku urged authorities to deploy more security personnel to vulnerable areas and intensify intelligence-led operations, insisting that Nigerians deserve protection, dignity, and peace.
