The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has reacted to the release of the abducted pupils of LEA Primary School, Kuriga, Chikum Local Government Area.

Spokesperson of the forum, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, in a statement, noted that the incident is another sad reminder of the need for improved security measures.

Suleiman said though the release of 137 schoolchildren should be celebrated, it should serve as a “wake-up call for all of us.”

While calling for an end to the mass abductions, the forum said President Bola Tinubu has failed to secure the lives of the children and other residents.

The statement reads in part: “The Northern Elders Forum firmly declares that enough is enough. The safety and security of our children should never be compromised or subject to negotiation.

“It is unacceptable for Nigerians, particularly those in the northern region, to continue living under such insecure conditions.

“Unfortunately, just months into the Tinubu administration, there have already been clear signs of failure in providing the vital aspects of security of life and property to citizens. This situation is deeply concerning and requires immediate attention from our leaders.

“While we celebrate the return of the abducted Kuriga schoolchildren, we must also recognise this event as a wake-up call for all of us.

“We cannot afford to become complacent in the face of such acts of violence and disregard for human life. As elders, it is our duty to protect and nurture the next generation.

“We also call for accountability and swift action from our leaders to address the security challenges our communities are facing.”

Very unfortunate

True.

Tinubu failed since 1900

NEF should close their Fvkcking mouth up!!!

They have no right to call out Tinubu's govt. Where were they when Banditry was a thriving business under the tenure of their own very son?? ..... Did they speak up?? ..... I pray the Bandit continue to Kidnap all of them esp their most prominent ones that is when they will really stand up and tackle Banditry instead of laying blames on the president.


Banditry is the mango tree they planted in the time of Jonathan, the y watered and harvested it in the time of Buhari and they will continue to Harvest it in years to come.

Jagaban no be Jonathan


Get ready to be served

Were they not the ones that voted for him?

As it wasn't worse than this during buhari regime,very useless set of people and so called association of failure.

What scares me is , this government paid over N100 million as Ransome to release these emkids. Just imagine that, kidnapping is going to be the new oil boom.
They will secure more arms and ammunition with these ransomes

Useless elders

Nackzy:
Tinubu failed since 1900

We know that you Northerners want Tinubu to fail, whether you like it or not, power will remain in the South West till 2031, you can cry until your BP is too high, & carries you into admission @ the emergency ward of General Hospital Birin Kebbi.
