Late retired Major General in the Nigerian Army, Rabe Abubakar
The Peoples Redemption Party on Tuesday mourned the death of former Director of Army Public Relations, Major General Rabe Abubakar (retd.), while renewing its criticism of the Federal Government over the worsening security situation in the country.
The opposition party, in a statement issued in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, described the late military officer’s death in captivity as a tragic reflection of what it called the government’s inability to protect Nigerians from kidnappers and bandits.
Abubakar was reported to have died in captivity after he and his wife, Amina, were abducted by bandits several weeks ago in Katsina State.
The PRP’s reaction came barely 24 hours after troops of the Nigerian Army, supported by the Nigerian Air Force, rescued Mrs Abubakar during a search-and-rescue operation conducted under Operation Fansan Yamma.
