Speaker Condemns Spate Of Abductions In Borno, Kaduna

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr. Abbas Tajudeen has condemned the mass abductions by suspected terrorists and bandits in Borno and Kaduna States within two days.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi,
the Speaker charges the military and other security agencies to go after the abductors and rescue the victims.

“Suspected Boko Haram members had on Wednesday stormed an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Gamboru Ngala town in Borno State and abducted scores of the IDPs, most of whom are women”.

“Again on Thursday morning, bandits invaded the LEA Primary School, Kuriga, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and kidnapped scores of pupils, the statement says.

The Speaker decries that the attacks are coming at a time when the troubled North-East and North-West are about getting some respite from bandits and terrorists occupation.

Dr. Abbas, while praying for the safe return of the abductees, urges the security agencies to deploy all resources for their rescue.

The Speaker also states that the 10th House under his leadership will do everything possible legislatively to increase the capacity of the military and paramilitary agencies towards securing lives and property across Nigeria.
