Borno Elders Demand Action for Abducted Children
Mr. Balami reported that over one hundred days have elapsed since children were abducted from various locations in Borno State, with no significant progress made towards their release. He expressed disappointment in the government's efforts, stating that the community anticipated more decisive action.
Malla Gadzama, Secretary of the Hawu/Askira-Uba Elders Forum, emphasized the need for government intervention and mercy towards the affected community. He also recalled the abduction of students from Government Day Secondary School, Lassa, on June 29, 2026, during their National Examinations Council (NECO) examinations.
Gadzama stated that having children in captivity for over one hundred days is unacceptable and concluded the forum's meeting with prayers for their safe return.
