Delayed Army Response to Kogi School Kidnapping Explained
Godiya Mond, a commander of the 21 Battalion of the Nigerian Army, explained the delayed response to an attack on a school in Kogi State. The incident occurred during an examination period when gunmen abducted four individuals, including two students and the school principal.
The attack took place in Olowa Community, Dekina Local Government Area, and was confirmed when troops arrived at the scene to find examination papers scattered across classrooms. The remote location of the school made it difficult for troops to respond quickly to the distress call.
The abduction occurred at approximately 4:00 PM, and the troops immediately began searching the surrounding bush for the assailants. The Nigerian Army is currently working to trace the location of the abducted individuals and is committed to rescuing them.
