Justi-In: Abducting School Female Made Tunibu An Angry.

By -

President Bola Tinubu instructed the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, to relocate to Kebbi State to oversee security operations aimed at rescuing schoolgirls who were kidnapped earlier this week.


According to a statement from Bayo Onanuga, the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Matawalle, who previously served as the Governor of Zamfara State, has been tasked with remaining in Kebbi to monitor efforts to secure the release of the abducted students.


In the early hours of Monday, gunmen stormed the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga town, Kebbi State, abducting at least 24 students. The Kebbi State government reported that the assailants arrived around 4:00 a.m., firing indiscriminately before taking the girls into the surrounding bush.


A presidential official informed our correspondent that Matawalle is expected to arrive in Birnin Kebbi, where he will lead "on-the-ground coordination" with the military, police, and other security agencies already deployed in the area. This directive aims to utilize Matawalle’s experience in handling mass abductions during his tenure as governor from 2019 to 2023, a period marked by numerous school kidnappings in the North-West.


Notably, on February 26, 2021, bandits kidnapped 279 female students from the Government Girls’ Science Secondary School in Jangebe, Zamfara State. The girls, aged between 10 and 17, were released days later following negotiations involving federal and state officials.


Tinubu, facing mounting pressure following the Kebbi abductions and an attack on a church in Kwara State, has also postponed his planned trips to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, to receive ongoing updates on the situation. The statement noted, "The President had postponed his scheduled trip as he awaited further security briefings on the kidnapped Kebbi schoolgirls and the attack on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State."


This latest kidnapping adds to a troubling history of assaults on schools since the 2014 abduction of 276 girls from Chibok, Borno State, which sparked international outrage.
