On Friday, Nigerians woke up to the news of another abduction of students by gunmen — the third major attack on schools in 2021.

Daily Trust had reported how gunmen stormed the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in Mando area of ​​Kaduna State and whisked away a yet-to-be-revealed number of students.

This happened two weeks after the government led by President Muhammadu Buhari promised that the country will not witness a similar incident after the abduction at Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe, Zamfara State.

Gunmen had in February stormed the school located in Talata-Mafara local government area of Zamfara and abducted over 200 students.

This had weeks after students and staff of Government Science Secondary School, Kagara, Niger State, were also abducted before they were released later.

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who had led a presidential delegation to Zamfara, had said the Jangebe experience would mark the end of attacks on schools and abduction of students in Nigeria.

“This abduction of the female students in Jangebe will be the last as the Federal Government has reorganised the security architecture of the country to nib all the atrocities of these criminals.”

“The president is saddened by the abduction of the students from Jangebe and reassures you that the government has all the resources and wherewithal to contain these criminals,” he had said

Although the president has repeatedly said bandits are not more powerful than his government, it is sad to see how armed men are instilling fear in people’s minds across the country and discouraging students from continuing with their education.

Only on Thursday did the Niger State Government shut all public schools over insecurity. Kaduna is likely to take the same step going by what previous governments which experienced mass abductions did. It’s time for the Buhari administration to match it’s words with action.

I pity those who still take the joker Jubril Alsundani serious.

Believe this government at your own peril. everything about them is scam. this country is too big to be run by incapable hands who want to politicise everything. Hausa/Fulani has no brain capabilities to run it. Let intellectual people, with good record/cv handle the affairs of this nation let's see the outcome. I think jagaban is a worthy candidate

The man/imposter has no integrity.

he actually meant in kankara... not the whole state or region

For where? That one is just a political statement.No sign of seriousness. No political will but we have many political statements.

How can a chief terrorist stop terrorism, e no go work nah

They should have been ashamed but have no shame.

buharis word has no value to Nigerians

Words of a dummy and pretender means nothing. The fulani satanic regime are the sponsors and promoters of boko haram and fulani terrorists.

Mightyhaiz:

OK

Zombies are finding it difficult to defend their 30k stipend. They now change monika everyday

Insecurity will only worsen with Buhari not because he wants to provide solutions.

I don't trust Buahri for security. He has proved himself to be untrustworthy and unreliable

I wonder what Nigeria will look like at the end buhari regime.

Vickym1:
I wonder what Nigeria will look like at the end buhari regime.

There is no need to wonder how Nigeria will look like when his tenure ends, we are already seeing it, there is no safe region in the country anymore, the hunger and anger in the land has multiplied, poverty level in the country is on another level, corruption is at it's peak....

Racoon:
Insecurity will only worsen with Buhari not because he wants to provide solutions.

He has no solution to provide even if he wants to he is clueless and doesn't know what to do. In a saner clime Buhari should never hold a political position, the reason he contested over and over again was just to satisfy his undying ambition to be president again he was never ready for any form of governance and he succeeded in tricking those without foresight that voted for him....

Who still believe those people up there
