Identify Who Ordered Soldiers’ Withdrawal Before Kebbi Schoolgirls’ Abduction, Gov Idris Tells Military

Kebbi Governor Demands Probe Into Soldier Withdrawal Before Schoolgirls’ Abduction
Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has called on the military to identify who ordered the withdrawal of soldiers from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, shortly before bandits abducted students.
Speaking in Birnin Kebbi while receiving NLC President Joe Ajaero, Idris said the state had earlier received intelligence about a possible attack, convened a security meeting, and was assured by security agencies that additional personnel would protect the school.
According to him, troops were deployed but pulled out around 3 a.m., and the attack occurred about 45 minutes later. The governor described the situation as highly suspicious and demanded a full investigation to determine who authorised the withdrawal at such a critical moment.
Idris said both state and federal authorities were working to secure the girls’ release, thanking President Tinubu for dispatching top officials to Kebbi. He also urged clerics to intensify prayers, warning that “enemies of the nation” were trying to destabilise the government.
NLC President Joe Ajaero, on a sympathy visit, said the abduction appeared to be “more than a coincidence” and called on the state to remain focused despite attempts to derail its progress.
Twenty-five girls were kidnapped during Monday’s attack, which also claimed the life of the school’s vice principal, though the government confirmed that two of the abducted students had escaped.

In line with the judgement of a Federal High Court in Abuja, the Department of State Services (DSS) has moved the convicted leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to the Nigerian Custodial Centre in Sokoto.

Minister of State for Education, Suwaiba Ahmad, has explained why the Federal Government scrapped the policy mandating the use of mother tongues as the primary language of instruction in schools. She said the policy failed to produce the expected learning outcomes and made it difficult for pupils to transition into English, Nigeria’s official language used for national exams and job competition.
Ahmad stressed that the decision was not due to a lack of pride in Nigerian cultures but a pragmatic response to educational realities. She argued that the context of Nigeria’s multilingual society makes implementation challenging, despite the cultural value of indigenous languages.
The minister added that the government is now focusing on strengthening foundational learning through improved teacher training in literacy and numeracy. She also noted that the curriculum is overloaded and will be streamlined to enhance learning effectiveness.
The discontinued policy was approved in 2022 to make mother tongues the compulsory medium of instruction from primary one to six, aimed at promoting Nigerian languages.
