PRESS STATEMENT
General Rabe Abubakar: A National Tragedy β David Mark
The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has described the death of former Director of Defence Information, Major General Rabe Abubakar (rtd), in the custody of his abductors as a national tragedy and a painful reminder of the worsening security situation in the country.
Senator Mark, a retired Brigadier General of the Nigerian Army, was visibly emotional while reacting to the development, lamenting that Nigerians have become endangered in their own country due to the persistent threats of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.
He noted that the death of a distinguished military officer who devoted his life to the service of the nation underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of Nigeriaβs security architecture.
According to him, βThe death of Major General Rabe Abubakar in captivity is not only a personal loss to his family and the military community but also a national tragedy. It raises serious concerns about the safety and security of every Nigerian citizen.β
The former Senate President observed that insecurity has continued to escalate for more than a decade, affecting every segment of society. He therefore called on Nigerians to unite against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and all forms of criminality threatening the nationβs peace and stability.
He queried: βWhat next for the ordinary citizen if pupils and teachers are unsafe in schools, homes are invaded by criminals, places of worship are no longer secure, and our roads have become dangerous corridors?β
Senator Mark lamented that Nigeria, once regarded as the pride of Africa, is increasingly losing its standing because of the inability to adequately guarantee the security of lives and property.
He stressed that it is time for the country to return to the drawing board, identify the root causes of insecurity, and implement practical and lasting solutions that will restore public confidence and national cohesion.
Despite the grim situation, Senator Mark expressed optimism that with determination, sincerity of purpose, and collective commitment, Nigeria can overcome its security challenges and reclaim its place among the comity of nations.
He extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Major General Rabe Abubakar, the Nigerian Armed Forces, and all victims of banditry and kidnapping across the country.
Senator Mark also urged governments at all levels to rise to the challenges of insecurity by mobilizing all required resources toward ending the menace.
βThe security and welfare of the people remain the primary responsibility of government. We must act decisively now before more innocent lives are lost,β he stated.
