Human rights lawyer and convener of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju has advised President Bola Tinubu to direct all service chiefs to relocate to Kaduna and Borno, where about 800 children and women were abducted by bandits in the last one week.
Adeyanju made the call while condemning yesterday’s invasion of a mosque in Kaduna by terrorists which resulted in the tragic loss of lives.
In a statement, Adeyanju said: “The abduction of about 800 children and women is a heinous crime that is completely unacceptable. It is a tragic reminder of the worsening security situation in Nigeria, particularly in the northern part of the country.
“The lives of these young students and women are at stake, and it is imperative that swift and decisive action be taken to secure their safe release.
“It is our firm belief that the presence of the Service Chiefs in Kaduna and Borno state will demonstrate the government’s commitment to the safety and security of its citizens.
“It will provide reassurance to the affected community and serve as a symbol of resolve in combating these acts of terror.
“I also propose that the Service Chiefs should not return to Abuja until tangible progress is made in rescuing the abducted students and women. This measure will ensure that the situation receives the utmost attention and resources required for a swift resolution.”
