Northern Elders Demand Urgent Action On Insecurity In Abuja

The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has strongly condemned the recent abduction of six sisters in the Bwari area council of Abuja and has called for immediate action to address the prevailing insecurity in the Federal Capital Territory across the country.

The forum expressed deep concern over the increasing cases of attacks and abductions in the FCT, stating that it reflects the overall insecurity prevailing across the country.

In a statement issued by the Director Publicity and Advocacy/Spokesperson of NEF, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, the forum highlighted the tragic killing of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, who was kidnapped alongside her father and siblings in Abuja.

This incident, NEF said, has further exposed the extent of the current state of insecurity plaguing the nation and also underscores the helplessness of Nigerians in the face of such dangers.

NEF asserted that the continuous occurrence of kidnappings, killings, armed robberies, and violent attacks, even in the federal capital, was unacceptable.
