First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu has condemned the abduction of 25 students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, describing the incident as a tragic assault on the nation’s values of safety, learning, and human dignity.
In a statement on Tuesday, she expressed deep sorrow over the attack, which also claimed the life of the school’s Vice Principal. She said the kidnapping of innocent girls and the killing of an educator strike at the heart of the country’s commitment to secure and safe learning environments.
“This heartbreaking incident is not only an attack on innocent girls and dedicated educators, but also an assault on the values of safety and learning that schools embody,” she stated.
Senator Tinubu noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed security agencies to ensure the swift and safe rescue of the abducted students and to bring the perpetrators to justice.
She offered condolences to affected families and the school community, praying for the successful rescue of the girls and for the repose of the Vice Principal’s soul.
The attack has renewed concerns over school safety in vulnerable communities, where sporadic abductions continue to hinder access to education, especially for girls.
