‘Nigeria Cannot Continue on This Path’: Atiku Laments Kebbi, Zamfara Killings


 Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Monday condemned the
killing of a vice-principal and the abduction of students at Government Girls
Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, describing the
incident as another sign of Nigeria’s deepening insecurity.

 

In a statement posted on X, Abubakar also condemned the
killing of an All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Umar Moriki, as well
as the mass abductions in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, where
entire families, including women and children, were kidnapped by armed men.

 

He said similar violent attacks and displacements were being
recorded in Plateau, Benue and other states, adding that residents in Shanono
Local Government Area of Kano State were fleeing their homes out of fear.

 

Abubakar urged the Federal Government to urgently overhaul
the country’s security framework, strengthen deployments to vulnerable
communities and intensify intelligence-driven operations.

 

According to him, Nigerians deserve protection, dignity and
lasting peace.

 

He wrote: “I am devasted by the news of the tragic attack on
Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State,
which claimed the life of the Vice-Principal and led to the abduction of
innocent students.

 

“This is yet another reminder of the worsening insecurity in
our nation.

 

“I equally condemn the killing of an APC chieftain Umar
Moriki and the mass abductions in Tsafe LGA of Zamfara, where entire families
including women and children were taken by bandits. These acts of barbarity
have no place in a civilized society.

 

“Similar tragedies continue to unfold in Plateau, Benue, and
other states, where communities are being torn apart by violence. In Shanono
LGA of Kano, residents are fleeing their homes in fear, highlighting a national
security challenge that has reached intolerable levels.

 

“Nigeria cannot continue on this path. I call on the Federal
Government to urgently review and strengthen its security architecture, deploy
adequate personnel across vulnerable communities, and intensify
intelligence-led operations. Our citizens deserve protection, dignity, and
peace, nothing less.”
