The group said although it welcomed the rescue of Adelabu's sister and her 12-year-old twin sons, it was disturbed by the government's selective attention to kidnapping victims based on their social and political status.
The Yoruba socio-cultural group, Ìgbìnmó Májékóbájé Ilé-Yorùbá, has accused President Bola Tinubu's administration of placing greater value on the lives of wealthy and politically connected families than average Nigerians, following the rescue of the sister of the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, and her twin children while dozens of abducted schoolchildren and teachers remain in captivity.
The group said although it welcomed the rescue of Adelabu's sister and her 12-year-old twin sons, it was disturbed by the government's selective attention to kidnapping victims based on their social and political status.
In a statement issued by the Convener of the Union, Olusola Badero, and released by its Home Director, Princess Balogun, the organisation stated that the successful rescue of the minister's relatives highlighted the disparity in the government's response to cases involving influential individuals and those involving ordinary citizens.
According to the group, many schoolchildren and teachers abducted by terrorists have remained in captivity for more than 27 days without receiving the same level of attention from authorities.
