A senatorial aspirant for Osun Central Senatorial District on the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Nathaniel Oduyemi, has expressed concern over the rising wave of kidnappings targeting schoolchildren and teachers across the country.
In a statement issued on Monday, Oduyemi said the abduction of pupils from schools, which should be safe environments for learning, underscored the severity of the nation’s security challenges.
“I have watched with deep concern and growing anxiety the disturbing wave of kidnappings targeting school children and their teachers across Nigeria. This trend is a threat to Nigeria’s future.
“The abduction of innocent pupils from schools that ought to be safe havens for learning is a tragic reminder that our nation is facing a grave security crisis. These attacks are not only assaults on the victims and their families; they are attacks on the future of our country,” the statement read.
