Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on the Federal Government to immediately declare a state of emergency on insecurity after yet another mass abduction of schoolchildren in Niger State. His statement followed reports that armed terrorists stormed a school in the state and whisked away an unconfirmed number of students and staff, heightening national outrage and reviving fears about the safety of educational institutions across the North.

Jocomms Correspondent reports that Atiku condemned the recurring pattern of large-scale kidnappings, describing the latest attack as a tragic indictment of the country’s deteriorating security architecture. He stressed that Nigeria can no longer afford piecemeal responses to a crisis that has left families devastated, communities displaced, and children increasingly targeted. According to him, a decisive, coordinated, and emergency-level strategy is now the only realistic path toward restoring public confidence and safeguarding lives.

The renewed call comes amid a surge in attacks across multiple states, prompting growing pressure on the government to adopt tougher and more comprehensive measures. With schools shutting down, parents living in fear, and security agencies stretched thin, many Nigerians are asking—how much longer can the nation endure before bold action becomes unavoidable?
