Uniforms & Placards: Abuja Mother, Children Stage Protest as School Abductions Surge
Dressed in school uniforms and holding placards calling for the rescue of kidnapped pupils, a woman and her three children staged a peaceful protest in the Maitama area of Abuja over growing fears about the safety of schoolchildren.
The mother says she is now afraid to take her children to school, amid abductions linked to school runs and recent kidnapping incidents.
Speaking to our correspondent, she fought back tears as she appealed for urgent action to secure schools and ensure the release of abducted pupils.
The symbolic protest comes shortly after the rescue of the sister of a former Minister of Power, who was kidnapped while taking her children to school, and amid continued concern over pupils still being held captive following earlier abductions in parts of Oyo and Borno States

For 12 years, a South African company called Optasia quietly controlled Nigeria's entire airtime and data borrowing market, collecting over N3 trillion every year.
No Nigerian staff. No local office. The money just left the country.
This week, President Tinubu changed that.

“We see government institutions doing the wrong thing and telling people to go to court. When a thief tells you to go to court, just know that his brother is the judge.” — Former President, Goodluck Jonathan
There are some very powerful people pulling the strings behind the scenes on this legal issue over airtime lending in Nigeria, trying to stick their straw into a market worth an estimated N400b annually. These people are close to the president, and are wielding tremendous power and distorting the entire economy in ways that would have embarrassed a post-Soviet Russian oligarch in 1994.
I’ve been actively aware of this matter for over two years now and the time may have come to tell the full story of how Idris Saliu Alubankudi, and his brother Shamsudeen Saliu 'Shamz' Alubankudi - both very close to Bola Tinubu and his family - have built one of the biggest and most powerful state corruption enterprises
in the entire history of Nigeria.
These men are attempting to capture the systemically important foundations of the entire Nigerian economy - specifically telecoms and ICT - and turn their 3 year-old corruption enterprise into a sort of Nigerian chaebol. You have never seen anything like it before.
You will be hearing the names 'Idris' and 'Shamz' a lot in the coming few days. Also don’t forget their family name 'Saliu Alubankudi.' It's an important part of the story.
😭💔 I dropped my daughter at school that morning and went to work, never knowing that very day was my last day of seeing my beautiful daughter.
A few hours later, I received the most painful news a mother could ever hear — band!ts had attacked the school and kidnapped everyone, including my little girl and her teachers. Since then, my daughter has been in the forest, and I don't know if she is safe or even alive. 😭
The pain is too much for me to bear😭. Every day I cry, pray, and hope for a miracle. God, please protect my child and bring her back home alive. 🙏💔
