A former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has condemned the abduction of over 280 school girls in Ganboru, Borno State, describing it as a ‘cowardly abduction’, while calling for ‘extrajudicial elimination of all terrorists and kidnappers.’
The former Aviation minister, reacting on his social media handle, noted that the recent abductions are a declaration of “WAR and we must fight it courageously, vigorously and mercilessly and take NO prisoners!”.
He tweeted, “Events in Gamboru Ngala in Borno State, Northern Nigeria where dozens of women were abducted by Islamist terrorists a few days ago and in Kuriga, Kaduna state where no less than 280 school girls were abducted from their school again by Islamist terrorists in the early hours of this morning are deeply troubling.”
“My heart goes out to the women and young girls that were kidnapped, to their husbands, parents and relatives, to Governor Uba Sani (@ubasanius) of Kaduna, to Governor Babagana Zulum (@ProfZulum) of Borno and the leaders, traditional rulers and people of both states.”
“I wholeheartedly condemn these shameful and cowardly abductions and I call for the summary execution and extrajudicial elimination of all terrorists and kidnappers.
“This is a WAR and we must fight it courageously, vigorously and mercilessly and take NO prisoners!”
“Every single one of these cruel, callous, bloodthirsty and evil terrorist beasts that target, murder and abduct our innocent and defenceless women and children and that terrorise our people must be utterly crushed, decimated and annihilated and, in a glorious hail of gunfire and bombs, despatched back to hell where they belong.
“I have no doubt that these attacks and abductions are being co-ordinated by forces both within and outside Nigeria in an attempt to destabilise our country and undermine our Government and we need to rise to the occasion, expose them as quickly and expeditiously as possible and hit them with everything that we have got.
“It is my prayer that the abducted women and children are rescued at the soonest and I have no doubt that both Governor Sani and Governor Zulum, in conjunction with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) and our security agencies and Armed Forces, will ensure that this is done.
“May God trouble those that seek to trouble our nation and may He put to shame and destroy those that seek to undermine her peace, security and stability.”
Vanguard reported how over 200 students of LEA primary school were kidnapped in Kaduna on Thursday, days after over 280 girls were kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram terrorists, in what could be described as a renewed insurgent attack on public schools in northern Nigeria.
In a similar vein, over 17 people were killed early Friday in Benue and five policemen lost their lives to a gunmen attack in Ebonyi state on Friday, highlighting the rise in insecurity in Nigeria
