Falana

Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, has called on President Bola Tinubu to approve the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards for Borno State and dispatch a high-powered Federal Government delegation to the state in response to the growing security challenges in the region.

Falana made the appeal in a statement on Monday, citing the Federal Government’s recent response to the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State.

According to him, President Tinubu had on Sunday sent “a high-powered Federal Government delegation to Oyo State, transiting through Ibadan, in response to the May 15, 2026 kidnapping of dozens of pupils and teachers in the Oriire Local Government Area near Ogbomoso.”
