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.
