Concerns About Deteriorating Security
Two weeks have passed since schoolchildren were kidnapped in Borno and Oyo States, yet they remain in captivity. Meanwhile, the government is promoting the formation of a thousand-member rescue team through the media while the children continue to suffer in the wilderness.
Today, the security situation across the nation continues to deteriorate. On Sunday, terrorists killed at least seven people and injured ten others in Gwon-Ajang Village, located in the Foron District of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In Kogi State, armed assailants kidnapped over 25 individuals and killed one resident during a coordinated raid on the Ayegunle-Igun Community in Kaba-Bunu Local Government Area. These heavily armed attackers carried out their operation in a commando-style manner, terrifying residents in the early hours of Monday.
In Anambra State, we also mourn the loss of two police officers who were killed in a bandit attack.
We still remember the painful incident in which armed individuals targeted three schools—Community Grammar School, Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School, and L.A. Primary School in the Ahoro-Esinle Community (Oriire Local Government Area near Ogbomoso)—and kidnapped 46 people, including 39 students, seven teachers, and the school principal.
On the same day, between 48 and 51 pupils and students in the Mussa Community (Askira-Uba Local Government Area) were abducted by suspected Boko Haram insurgents. The victims, who included young children from nursery classes as well as primary and secondary school students, were taken on May 15, 2026, and have now remained in captivity for two weeks.
Meanwhile, amid all these tragic developments, we politicians remain consumed by the next election, paying far more attention to political ambitions than to the safety and well-being of our children and fellow citizens.
In a nation that is not at war, the ongoing insecurity that endangers schoolchildren signifies a profound and serious challenge. -PO
I can’t lie we entertainers .. we Dey fuckup I won’t lie including me … we need to speak up … it’s too much injustice goin on .. our country don go 💔🇳🇬
Demanding good governance should never lead to humiliation, intimidation, or torture. I have always believed that the child of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody, but the reality of our system has made that dream difficult for millions of Nigerians.
My crime was believing in a better Nigeria and to demand accountability, justice, and good governance. What I went through, and what I am still going through, has tested me emotionally, mentally, and physically, but it did not break me.
Instead, it made me stronger.
This experience has strengthened my belief that Nigeria can still become the country of our dreams — a nation where hard work, honesty, and dedication matter more than connections or power.
While the matter remains before the court, I will continue to respect the legal process and remain hopeful that justice will prevail.
Nigeria will be great again. Do not give up on our country.
Someday, the child of nobody will truly become somebody without knowing anybody.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬
Justice will never be cracked.

~ An Hausa man living in Ado-Ekiti says.
“My 14-year-old brother went missing in 2023 and we later got a call that he was at the police station. When we got there, he told us he was picked up during a police raid alongside other people. Everyone arrested with him was released except him.
Since then, he has been in Kirikiri Medium Prison, Mile 2, going to court over a case the police officer himself testified he committed no offense in. Yet the case keeps getting adjourned again and again since 2023.
They asked us to provide ₦150,000 for bail, but we cannot afford it. My brother was just a child when this started, and he will be turning 17 soon. Please, we are begging the authorities and anyone who can help to please intervene and help release my brother.”
