Lawmaker Bello El-Rufai calls for urgent action against escalating abductions and killings, citing over 90 abducted persons recently.
, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has strongly condemned the escalating incidents of killings and abductions across Nigeria. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the lawmaker, who represents the Kaduna North Federal Constituency, expressed deep concern over the growing insecurity.
“Enough Is Enough: The Rising Wave of Abductions Across Nigeria Requires Urgent Actions, Not Media Announcements,”Bello noted that repeated attacks by bandits and terrorists on communities demand urgent national attention and a coordinated, intelligence-driven security response. “There are several incidents that have not made the news, even as a number of other cases have recently received public attention.
“These include the abduction of the sister of the former Minister of Power, Mr. Adelabu, and her two children; the abduction of seven students of the Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda in Zamfara State; as well as attacks in Oyo State that reportedly resulted in the abduction of 39 students and teachers in the Ahoro Esinele community, Oriire Local Government Area. “Collectively, these reported incidents amount to over 90 abducted persons, in addition to several other unreported or less publicised cases across the country,” Bello said.
The lawmaker warned that behind every statistic lies a human life, a family in distress, and a community living in fear. While commending the efforts of Nigeria’s security agencies, he stressed the need for urgent improvements.
“Behind every statistic is a family in distress and a community living in fear. While we acknowledge and commend the efforts of our security agencies, the persistence of these attacks makes it clear that we must urgently strengthen intelligence coordination, improve proactive prevention, and enhance rapid response capacity across all levels.
“I therefore call for immediate and sustained rescue operations to ensure the safe return of all abducted persons, and for a more decisive national strategy to prevent further occurrences. Nigeria cannot and must not normalize mass abductions. The time for firm, coordinated action is now.
