Some schools in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have informed parents to keep their children at home until the security situation improves.
This was disclosed by Senator Shehu Sani, former Senator representing Kaduna Central.
Children in the Northern part of the Country are being abducted on daily basis, , and in recent times the targets have been Abuja, the Nation’s Capital.
This is amid the rising insecurity in the country which has seen school children in the Northern part of the country abducted in large numbers.
In recent times, more abductions have been done in the Nation’s Capital, Abuja.
On his tweeter handle, Sanni said the monster has reached the center.
“This morning, some schools in Abuja have asked parents to keep their children at home pending the security situation. The monster has reached the centre.”
Sani had in an earlier tweet noted that University Lecturers and “academics are becoming the targets of kidnappers as we have seen in the attacks on the Ahmadu Bello University, Kaduna State Polytechnic and now University of Abuja…
“The location of the University of Abuja in the Federal Capital and its proximity to military formations have not protected its inhabitants from terrorists & kidnappers. As long as the neighbouring states of the FCT are not safe, Abuja can’t be safe”, he said.
Six people were Tuesday abducted from the senior staff quarters of the University of Abuja, including two professors-Prof. Bassey Ubom (with his son and daughter), Prof. Obanza Malam, Sambo Mohammed and Dr. Tobit.
Indications are that the abductors have reached out to the families and are demanding the sum of N300 million ransom.
