Abducted Schoolboys: We’ve Lost Confidence — BBOG Hit Osinbajo, Ambode
We request that a similar program be developed by the Lagos State Government to manage the processes within the critical period that immediately follows a rescue. Please find our VARS attached to this letter.
We hope that the Federal and State Governments appreciate that it is our strong concern for the unacceptable state of #EndangeredEducation in our country that compels us to demand swift action whenever our children are abducted from their schools.
Our government authorities must take all the steps and measures necessary to show to our common enemies that the Nigerian state will never again allow our children to choose between safety and being alive. The most persuasive way to achieve this is to take actions that would result in immediate and safe recovery of the 6 students of the Lagos State Model College, Igbonla, Epe.
We look forward to receiving the response to our letter from the two authorities to enable our Movement support the efforts for successful resolution of this tragedy.” [Ends]
Before the incident, the kidnappers had written to the school, informing the authorities of their plan to kidnap its students.
The school management promptly notified the Nigerian Police, which sent its men to take strategic positions around the school.
The Police, however, were overwhelmed by the number of militants, who were believed to be Niger Delta militants, and the sophistication of their weapons.
Some kidnappers had, earlier last October, attacked the same school seizing 4 students and 2 members of staff, including a Vice Principal.
With the latest outburst from BBOG, Nigerians wonder whether we will expect a second episode of #BringBackOurGirls.
