STATEMENT ON MAJOR GENERAL RABE ABUBAKAR (RTD) AND HIS WIFE

The Katsina State Government has expressed strong optimism that former Director of Defence Information, Major General Rabe Abubakar (Rtd), and his wife will soon regain their freedom following intensified efforts by security agencies and the state government.

Following their abduction along the Matazu axis, Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda immediately directed all relevant security agencies to prioritize the safe rescue of the retired General, his wife, and other victims held by bandits.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the kidnapping was a deliberate and targeted operation. Evidence suggests that the retired military officer and his wife were monitored and trailed from Kaduna, their point of departure, highlighting a concerning shift in the tactics of criminal groups operating in the region.

The state government noted that the sophistication of the operation points to the involvement of organized criminal networks, a development that is shaping ongoing rescue strategies. Authorities are currently deploying both advanced technology and ground intelligence to track the abductors and secure the victims’ release.

Katsina State Government reaffirmed its commitment to bringing those responsible to justice and emphasized that attacks on retired servicemen and other citizens will not be tolerated. Security agencies have intensified surveillance and operations in the affected area while maintaining close collaboration with the Nigerian Army, Police, and intelligence services.

The government appealed to the public to provide any useful information that could aid ongoing investigations and urged residents and the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar to remain calm. It assured that all available resources are being deployed to ensure the safe return of the General, his wife, and other captives, expressing confidence that current high-level operations will soon yield positive results.

This is heartbreaking

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

This is the former military spokesman Maj. Gen. Rabe & his wife. They are in kidnappers’ den. Terrorists are demanding a prisoner exchange.

This is 25-30 years of commissioned service in the army. This is what it takes to be a Nigerian?

Is it 4am in Nigeria? Is Aso daddy awake?

Predicted this back in 2021: once bandits are done with the North-West, they’d head to the South-West. What’s happening there now is no surprise.

[Aku N’esi Obi Ike (I) @Kasieobi_1]

1. Atiku Abubakar is broke (full stop).

2. He was financially decimated by Buhari, who wanted to ensure he would no longer have a large war chest to fund an election.

3. Buhari achieved this through Hadiza Usman, who frustrated Intels, a company co-owned by Atiku.

4. In 2021, Atiku sold his shares in Intels and used the money to run in the 2023 PDP primary election. Gov. Wike made sure Atiku spent big in PDP primaries by paying $30,000 per delegate.

5. Atiku who was fully extorted, needed a sitting governor to open his state treasury to co-fund his 2023 campaign, and Gov. Okowa came in handy.

6. Records show that Gov. Okowa borrowed N30,000,000,000 from three banks, Zenith Bank, UBA, and Access Bank. That was the money used for Atiku’s presidential campaign in 2023.

6b. EFCC records shows that Okowa could not show which project swallowed the last minute loan he took from 3 banks in 2022 using Delta state allocation as security.

7. Atiku’s remaining businesses, like America a university of Nigeria, Adama Beverage Limited, Gotel Communications, and Prodeco Nigeria Limited, cannot provide Atiku with the funds needed for the 2027 election, so he's looking for another “Okowa.” Sadly, that option is now limited.

8. Atiku has 25 voracious children waiting for food to be ready. Potential 25 Seyi Tinubu’s. Can Nigeria survive it? No!

9. Bottom line is: what we've seen Tinubu do will be child’s play compared to what Atiku will do if he becomes president.

10. A man who’s badly financially decimated and damaged, who has sold many assets and liquidated numerous businesses in his quest for the presidency, will first recover his investments before doing anything else.

11. If Tinubu, with Lagos treasury in his hands, is still hustling and scavenging the nation like a hungry vulture, imagine what Atiku will do.

12. Peter Obi remains Nigeria’s only real option. He's not broke. He's not hungry. He will not thief up your money.

13. This cannot be said about Atiku and Tinubu.

14. May God save us from Atiku and Tinubu.

🚨🎙️: Ronald Koeman: “Arsenal only won the Premier League because of corner kicks.” ⛳️

“If not for corner kicks, they wouldn’t have won the league. I have to be honest — I’m not a fan of their football style or tactics.

You can’t keep pushing goalkeepers just to score goals. In my opinion, many of those goals should have been ruled out. That’s not the kind of record the Premier League should be proud of.

The Premier League is one of the greatest leagues in the world, if not the best, so allowing such actions repeatedly is disappointing to see.” 👀🔥

I have been following the conversation around @Eniolorunda’s speech at The Platform.

Though he spoke those words four days ago, my position on his stand was already on record, captured in this podcast weeks before.

As a country, we must never shy away from the mirror, collectively and individually. Denial only takes you farther from the solution.

Credit to @pastorpoju for enabling conversations that matter.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.

The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.

Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
