Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday in a statement, called on the Federal Government to post armed military personnel at all schools “for 24/7 protection.”

Atiku condemned the abduction of the students and staff of Government Science College, Kagara, Niger State.

He asked the Federal Government to declare all secondary and primary schools in the affected states and zones as federal protected zones.

“If it’s not feasible to have armed military guards in all schools, then each state in the should as a matter of urgency replicate the Civilian Joint Task Force idea, that has worked so well in Borno, and deploy them to each school, along with men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

“What we must not do is do nothing. History may forgive us for making wrong decisions, but we’ll never be forgiven if we carry on business as usual.

“As a nation, we must be willing to provide the same level of security that we provide for the schools that the children of the elite attend, for schools that the children of other classes of Nigerians attend.”

He also said: “The spate of insecurity in Nigeria is now beyond alarming. It has gotten to crisis levels, especially when it involves children and other minors.

“Now is not the time for fingers to point in blame. Our nation needs solutions. And we have now seen that paying ransoms, and allowing criminals to profit from their criminality is not a solution.

“When you reward crimes, the end result is more crime.

“The only long term solution to the insecurity challenge Nigeria is facing is to end the reign of impunity.

“The Federal Government must enforce the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria against abductions and kidnappings, by apprehending the criminals, trying them and making an example of those convicted, to serve as a deterrent to others.”

Who knows may be ___ behind all this... God help us

They should post military men to schools,so they can start molesting and harassing them both sexually and physically.

That isn't the solution. The solution is for their leaders to stop equipping bandits,and terrorists with cash and equipments.


They should stop building industries with banditry and terrorism.

They should stop sending bandits and terrorists to go about abducting students just for pecuniary gains.


If these steps are obliged to, terrorism, and banditry will end.

Must you always talk. Must you talk

Atiku is dumb. I have not seen any political leader who is intelligent. From their comments you shall know them.

You see you kind of leaders we have in this country. This is just like applying band aid to injury and needs stitching. Treating the symptom instead of address the root cause of the problem.

Nigerians have the come together and agree that our internal security architecture has failed woefully and needs to be reviewed. In my opinion, state police is the way to go.

Those schools are the responsibility of States governments, give them state police.

Atiku the FG adviser,ehy dont you advise the govt to post Police and miltary to farms to deal with fulani herdsmen.

Hypocrite.


He is saying all this to keep the heat on his presidency bid


Is it not the same atiku that preached restructuring in the east and went numb in the north?

Is it not the same atiku that helped buhari with all the crimes of chibok etc in 2015, has he come out since to expose the crimes and shortchanging the northern oligarchy engaged in to oust gej.


Can atiku honestly say that as the biggest politician in the north east he is not a part of the insecurity, Boko Haram and other menace which skyrocketed just for 2015 selfish agenda

If Atiku truly said this then he is dumb as hell. Instead of him to proffer practical solutions that can tackle the root cause of the banditry and kidnapping menace while confronting the criminals, he is talking of deployment of soldiers to schools. How many soldiers are in the Nigerian army to cover all schools? Mumu talk.

noooo those officers are paedophiles and won't waste time destroying those they are meant to protect

This one dey look for who go give innocent students belle.

this doesnt look like a solution...instead the military should go after the bandits and destroy their camps which every local knows the location

Atiku you too dey fall hand o, how many soldier will remain in baracks considering the number of schools we have in this country, Las Las you too no get idea, you just want to be president.

Hahahahahaha..

Atiku goofed with this suggestion...

How many military officers per school?

How many schools do we have in Nigeria?

How many officers would be left to perform their original duty?

Am with you on this cos u just typed same thing I had in mind
Our leaders always have firefighting approach to situations like this instead of treating from the root cause which is way easier . . .

Atiku be wailing like a hopeless market woman!!

From the post, it's very obvious he clearly avoided the real issues which is going after the bandits ruthlessly and beefing up security around the so called porous northern borders through a combination of technology and manpower.

Trying hard to market his 2023 Presidential ambition.
Sorry, Zombies are busy listening and dancing to the music of their master ...

He also suggested civilian JTF and others, which is still laughable.

Make im wait, the duo of Adesina and Garba shehu are using him to shine teeth before midday.

That would be a very wrong move cos the useless military will connive with the bandits and also rape the innocent little school girls.. that’s all they know how to do, harm innocent armless civilians... kill Nigeria now before it kills all of us

TO WARD OFF BANDITS, KIDNAPPERS BOKOHARAMS AND MACBAN.

The fulani are telling you this is your new reality,
