First Lady Tasks Security Agencies To Curb Kidnapping, Other Forms Of Insecurity

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has called on security agencies to step up their game in the task of ridding the country of the menace of kidnapping and other forms of insecurity.

First Lady Tinubu made the call in a statement she personally authored on Monday, January 15, in reaction to the kidnap of Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar, his six children and others from Bwari council area last Tuesday.


Between Tuesday when the kidnap occurred and today, Monday, the kidnappers have killed not less than four of their victims and moved demanded ransom from N60 million to N700 million.

However, the First Lady, in her statement, expressed sadness over the development and called for prayers for the victims.

“It is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge the devastating loss of Nabeeha and extend my deepest condolences to her grieving family.

“In difficult moments like this, I urge the nation to join in fervent prayers for the safe return of these girls. Let us hold the families close to our hearts in prayers.

“I implore our security agencies to intensify their efforts in addressing the pressing matter of kidnappings and insecurity in our nation. The safety and swift return of the Al-Kadriyar sisters and others in captivity should be our paramount concern.

“To the parents, especially mothers, I appeal for intensified prayers for our children and for peace to prevail in our beloved country.

May the Almighty God comfort the Al-Kadriyar family for their loss and may God bring the other children back home safely. God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, the statement said.

IN 2014, TINUBU DEMANDED JONATHAN’S RESIGNATION OVER ‘LACK OF CAPACITY’

Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos state, had asked Jonathan to resign over “lack of capacity” to tackle the country’s security challenges.

They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision and creativity. The lies of yesterday are what they repeat today and are what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you. They are lying about the security, toying about the security of this country. I don’t have time to explain the logic of their lies.

“But if you control the armed forces and you are the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the federal republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day. In any civilised country, Jonathan should have resigned. But if he will not resign, he should wait for our broom. We will sweep him away.”

However, the First Lady, in her statement, expressed sadness over the development and called for prayers for the victims.

It's despicable that we should be nudging our security agencies to perform their constitutional assignments.

The president always meeting service chiefs and giving out fresh charges means they lack the initiative to be proactive in matters of crimes and criminality.

Appointments into some offices should come with Key performance indicators.
