Kebbi, Nigeria — As schools dey face serious wahala for North-West, Governor Nasir Idris don express concern over military withdrawal wey happen just before armed bandits storm Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga. This maladjustment occur for the early hours of November 17, and na im lead to the abduction of 25 schoolgirls, as gunmen enter the school compound for around 4 a.m.
Idris begin vex as he receive the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero. Him talk say e no understand why soldiers wey suppose dey guard di school run go disappear like say dem no get sense. According to am, soldiers pull out from the school at about 3 a.m., and before dem know wetin dey happen, bandits don strike.
“We provide intelligence report. We shout say we dey expect problem, so who give di order make dem withdraw? I dey call for full military investigation because this koko don dey wahala for long,” Idris yarn.
The abduction don vex many people all over di nation, and this wetin happen just dey show say di wahala of school safety dey grow worse for North-West. School for this region don dey face numerous attacks, and every time dem go promise say dem go give security, but things still dey turn sideways.
Ajaero also come talk say dem dey support di families wey don suffer from di tragedy. Him urge federal security agencies make dem rush do encounter and secure di girls’ release sharp sharp.
Reports show say di attackers sabi di area well, dem fit climb fence wey no get light wey for di school, and di lack of proper night security make dem action easy. Dis na di fifth attack wey happen for Kebbi State, and residents dey raise alarm. “We dey live between fear and fatigue, we no fit abandon our farms, but we no fit protect ourselves,” one community leader talk.
Security experts don tell us say if government no fix di issues wey cause di insecurity matter, we fit see more schools wey go dey attacked. Na from 2014 wey di issue of abduction begin, since di time Boko Haram carry 276 schoolgirls from Chibok we don dey encounter dis kind wahala. Just like last year wey bandits carry over 200 pupils from Kuriga, di matter don turn wahala for everybody.
As Police and military dey carry out search-and-rescue operation to find di abducted girls, we dey hope say dis one go be di last of di matter. But di next 48-72 hours go show if dem fit rescue di girls before di go enter deeper forest for zamfara area where dem no go fit locate dem again.
Education officials dey fear say many parents go begin withdraw their daughters from rural boarding schools, which fit spoil dem progress since Kebbi State get high female school attendance. Dis matter don raise serious alarm, and e go take serious intervention to ensure security for schools.
For di meantime, Governor Idris don dey plead make everybody stay calm and continue to pray for di safe return of di girls while di military operations dey go on. This matter don vex all man for town, and everybody dey expect change for di security system before dis wahala go spread pass our borders.
