Press Statement: Enough Is Enough: The Rising Wave of Abductions Across Nigeria Requires Urgent Actions Not Media Announcements. I write with deep concern over the alarming and unacceptable rise in kidnappings and mass abductions across the country. These repeated attacks on innocent citizens demand urgent national attention and a coordinated, intelligence-driven security response.
There are several incidents that have not made the news, even as a number of other cases have recently received public attention, including the abduction of the sister of the former Minister of Power, Mr. Adelabu, and her two children; the abduction of seven students of the Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State; as well as attacks in Oyo State reportedly resulting in the abduction of 39 students and teachers in the Ahoro Esinele community, Oriire Local Government Area. In Borno State, 42 pupils from Mussa community in Askira Uba LGA were also reportedly abducted.
Collectively, these reported incidents amount to over 90 abducted persons, in addition to several other unreported or less publicized cases across the country.
Behind every number is a human life. Behind every statistic is a family in distress and a community living in fear. While we acknowledge and commend the efforts of our security agencies, the persistence of these attacks makes it clear that we must urgently strengthen intelligence coordination, improve proactive prevention, and enhance rapid response capacity across all levels.
I therefore call for immediate and sustained rescue operations to ensure the safe return of all abducted persons, and for a more decisive national strategy to prevent further occurrences. Nigeria cannot and must not normalize mass abductions. The time for firm, coordinated action is now.
May God protect our nation and bring all abducted citizens home safely.
