In a recent Facebook post, former minister of Aviation Chief Femi Fani-Kayode Sadaukin Shinkafi voiced his deep concern over the spate of abductions in Gamboru Ngala, Borno State, and Kuriga, Kaduna State. These incidents have sent shockwaves across the nation, reigniting concerns about the security situation in Northern Nigeria.
The abduction in Gamboru Ngala saw dozens of women taken captive by Islamist terrorists, while in Kuriga, Kaduna State, no less than 280 schoolgirls were abducted from their school in the early hours of the morning. Fani-Kayode, known for his outspokenness on matters of national security, minced no words in his condemnation of these acts, calling them "shameful and cowardly."
Expressing solidarity with the victims and their families, Fani-Kayode extended his heartfelt sympathy to those affected. He specifically mentioned Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna and Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno, along with the leaders, traditional rulers, and people of both states, acknowledging their pivotal roles in addressing the crisis.
Fani-Kayode's Facebook post didn't stop at mere condemnation. He issued a clarion call for decisive action, declaring, "This is a WAR and we must fight it courageously, vigorously, and mercilessly and take NO prisoners!" His words echoed the sentiments of many Nigerians who are increasingly frustrated with the recurring menace of terrorism and kidnapping.
Urging for swift and uncompromising measures, Fani-Kayode called for the "summary execution and extra judicial elimination of all terrorists and kidnappers." He stressed the need to crush the perpetrators without hesitation, emphasizing the importance of sending a strong message that such heinous acts will not be tolerated.
Highlighting the coordinated nature of the attacks, Fani-Kayode pointed to both internal and external forces seeking to destabilize Nigeria. He called for a unified response, urging authorities to expose the orchestrators and respond with full force.
In his post, Fani-Kayode expressed confidence in the leadership of Governors Sani and Zulum, as well as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the security agencies, to ensure the safe rescue of the abducted. He also invoked divine intervention, praying for God's protection over the nation and condemnation upon those who seek to disrupt its peace and stability.
As Nigerians grapple with the aftermath of these abductions, Femi Fani-Kayode's words serve as a rallying cry for unity, resilience, and unwavering resolve in the face of adversity. The nation awaits decisive action from its leaders to bring the perpetrators to justice and restore a sense of security to affected communities.
