Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on the Nigerian government to declare a state of emergency on insecurity after the mass abduction of schoolchildren in Niger State. The attacks, including the recent abduction at St. Mary's Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Agwara LGA, have raised concerns about the escalating kidnappings across the country.
Atiku emphasized the urgent need for extraordinary action to address the security challenges. The incidents also involved attacks on a Catholic school in Niger State and a church in Kwara State, resulting in casualties.
President Bola Tinubu has condemned the attacks, and Vice President Kashim Shettima has been instructed to visit the victims.
