Abduction of school children may cause uneducated generation, APC Chieftain warns
By Modupe Shodeinde
Alhaji Tijjani Tumsah, a former Interim National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned that the abduction of school children will deter parents from sending their children to school and the consequence would be a generation without proper education.
Tumsah urged security agencies to deplore all the required resources to put an end to kidnapping of innocent children for ransom.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, expressed shock and sadness over the Friday abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls in Jangebe, Zamfara.
“The kidnapping of school children in their dormitories will, no doubt, negatively affect learning as no meaningful academic activities can take place in an unsecure environment.
“Attacks on schools may also discourage some parents from sending their kids to school and the consequence of having a generation without proper education can be best imagined than experienced,” he said.
The APC Chieftain said the reoccurring abductions and killings by bandits call for a multi-pronged approach to put a stop to insecurity in the country.
He demanded immediate and safe release of the schoolgirls and those involved in the act should be made to face the full wrath of the law.
He further urged the government at all levels to ensure that academic institutions are well secured to prevent attacks.
