Borno Parents Demand Action from Tinubu on Abducted Kids
Parents and community leaders from Mussa and Lassa in the Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State have issued a six-day ultimatum to President Bola Tinubu to rescue their children abducted by Boko Haram insurgents. The children were taken on May 15, 2026, and have now spent over 130 days in captivity.
A total of 80 children were abducted, with 44 from Mussa Ward and 36 from schools in Lassa. Ishaku Suya, the Chairman of the abducted pupils’ parents, directly appealed to President Tinubu, threatening to march to the Presidential Villa in Abuja if no action is taken.
The urgency of the situation was echoed by grieving mother Josphin Yohanna and acting District Head Wadzani Hammatu, who highlighted the young age of some abducted children. Midala Usman Balami, the member representing Askira/Uba and Hawul Federal Constituency, condemned the government's inaction and emphasized the need for immediate security measures to secure the children's release.
