Sad: Our Children Are Now Pawns in a Deadly Ransom Economy
It’s heartbreaking to report yet another bandit attack on a school, barely three weeks after over 40 schoolchildren and their teachers were abducted and are still languishing in the forest.
The security situation in Kogi State has taken another tragic turn with a brutal bandit attack on Government Secondary School, Iluke, in Kabba-Bunu LGA. Armed bandits disguised in military uniforms invaded the school during an ongoing WAEC examination, killed the Vice Principal, Mr. Gani Anifowose, and attempted a mass abduction of students.
Reports from the scene indicate that local security personnel and vigilantes actively resisted the attackers and frustrated their abduction attempt.
Making educational institutions soft targets is a direct assault on the nation’s future. It creates a psychological barrier to school enrolment and worsens Nigeria’s out-of-school children crisis, disproportionately forcing young girls out of formal education due to fear. There is nothing more heartbreaking for a nation than being unable to protect its children.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of the Vice Principal, who lost his life while gallantly defending the children entrusted to his care. May God grant his soul eternal repose.-PO
Good morning.
This is to remind you that about 40 little children are languishing in a terrorist cave in the thick wilderness for over 2weeks but the sole priority of the president’s wife is to share cars to political lunatics for campaign purposes.
Good morning again to you.
Just incase you’ve forgotten.
3weeks ago,
39 little children and 7teachers were kidnapped by terrorists in Oyo state. One of the teachers was brutally beheaded on video.
TILL NOW,
AS I TYPE THIS,
THE KIDS AND TEACHERS ARE STILL HELD IN TORTUROUS BONDAGE BY THE TERRORISTS.
3days ago,
The sister of an ex-minister and her twin kids were kidnapped. And within 3days, the security forces have secured their release.
The kidnapped children of the poor, some of them 2year olds and 3year olds, are languishing in a terrorist hellhole for the last 3weeks with no hope of a rescue but within 3days the kidnapped children of an ex minister got released by govt forces.
Well, incase you need another reminder, YOUR LIFE, THE LIFE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND THE LIVES OF ALL YOUR LOVED ONES is absolutely worthless to this government. These incompetent heartless lunatics in power will watch them kidnapped, killed, beheaded and do absolutely nothing.
Your life means nothing to this govt.
Just incase you have forgotten.
Even for cows,
Just see the treatment they get.
The quality of life/standard of living, given to cows bred to be killed, is far more superior than the life of hundreds of millions of Nigeria.
Nigerian politicians deserve to be jailed and rot in dungeons.
CONTINUOUS ABDUCTION OF NIGERIAN SCHOOLCHILDREN AND THE COLLAPSE OF SCHOOL SAFETY
After congratulating Nigerian children as they celebrate their day today, my heart remains heavy and troubled, knowing that some Nigerian children have remained in captivity for years. It is a shame that days, weeks, months, and even years have passed while our children continue to languish in kidnappers’ dens, with their heartbreaking images still circulating on social media.
A nation that cannot protect its children from criminals has little but shame to present to the global community. No parent can bear the shame of being unable to protect his or her children, yet here we are as a nation, moving on while our children continue to suffer in forests and captivity for years. -PO
