He was on his way to his hometown when the hoodlums captured him.

In a video released a week after bandits held Rabe and his wife hostage, they asked the government to release three members of their gang in captivity.

Also terrorists holding school children and their teachers in Oyo State were said to have demanded the release of their members before the children would regain their freedom.

But in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, on Saturday, he said, “While the terrorists have done their worst, the President wants them to know that the government will never bow to their demand to release their members.

“As I said on June 12, Bandits, kidnappers, and sponsors of terror should now surrender or face the full force of the Nigerian State. These windows of surrender will not remain open forever. And no mercy will be shown to those who trade in the blood of Nigerians.

“As Nigerians, we must stand united and be assured that the enemies of our nation shall soon be history. We will triumph over terror and continue to build a more prosperous nation.

“General Abubakar’s death should further serve as a defining moment in our battle against terrorists and insurgents, never to negotiate with them on any terms, but to continue to treat them as the greatest enemies of our dear nation, who should never be spared.”

The President commiserated with the family of the retired General, especially his wife, who is still being held against her will.

He also extended his condolences to the Katsina State government and the armed forces.

If those people hold his wife or son, won't he pay? It's because he doesn't care about his citizens. Why can't he sack his security chiefs,if they can't stop this insecurity? How many of the said sponsors of terrorism had he arrested,but yet they could arrest the brafra agitators. They obviously know what they are doing. What happens to ending open grazing,since that's the excuse fulani uses in moving around states?

Oyo school children is about to turn to chibok girls story ..

Tinubu can't use his power as president, to rescue even kids kidnapped in his backyard.

He should be ashamed of himself...

Please the window of surrendering should have a deadline. And as regards the vow not to succumb, this is the second time.

Abegi just shot up already, what a failure

Am not happy about his death buh the truth most be told, the military never wanted this war against terrorism to end bcoz they benefit more from the proceeds, almost 3trillion on military budget alone, that's crazy mehn, so maybe if they start picking them one after the other just maybe the rest generals will seat up and fight this terrorist wholeheartedly

Biodun556:
Buhari was paying ransom, but Tinubu refused to pay which is the best decision?

Negotiators and military personnel were sharing in the ransom , kidnappers kept growing in numbers

If this is coming from a "leader of tomorrow" then Nigeria is in deep mess.
There are over 100,000 rural communities in Nigeria, if you decide to arm their leaders and hunters with guns to fight bandits, do you think you're solving the problem or creating a much bigger one?

almarthins:
So what's the solution?

Since our security agency are toothless at griping the terrorist. Should we now hope and pray that we lucky we don't end up in their den. The way things are going l wouldn't object self armament.

Reference:
There should be no windows, no bargains, no red lines, nothing. The security forces should go after them. Anyone of them lucky to be alive should be interrogated, stripped of Intel, sent before a serious judge and capital punishment conducted, all within a specific minimal time frame.

The government needs to set up special courts if necessary, liaise with the NJC to appoint competent judges to handle these cases rapidly and ensure through the Legislature that all cases of banditry are 'Federal' cases so there are no biases and death warrants are 'Federal'.

The government needs to match this disaster with all the seriousness it can muster. Enough of pussyfooting.

But buhari was paying ransom, yet the kidnapping business kept booming

ufotunang:
..the next line of action is to give the bandits and terrorists amnesty, food, money and monthly stipends and reintegrate them back to the society as the military and federal government has been doing... Tinubu is not serious in addressing and tackling bandits and terrorists.. giving them amnesty..is that a president is serious in tackling and addressing terrorism
