“When toddlers are dragged from classrooms into terrorist camps, a nation’s schools have officially become processing centers for ransom.” With this scathing assessment, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) fiercely attacked President Bola Tinubu’s administration on Friday over a terrifying surge in mass school kidnappings and the crushing cost of living.
Speaking at a press briefing marking the global Ashura commemoration in Jos, Plateau State, the group demanded an immediate military rescue response and total systemic reform. Group leaders declared that rampant banditry and government failure have left the nation’s most vulnerable citizens completely exposed, transforming Nigerian classrooms into operational hubs for terrorist extortion.
Muhammad Auwal Gangare Sheikh , the IMN representative for Plateau State who led the briefing at Zakzaky Hall, singled out the systemic abduction of students as the most painful indicator of state failure. He pointed specifically to devastating mass abductions in Oyo State, where young pupils and teachers were dragged into forests, alongside ongoing security crises crippling communities in the North-West and North-East regions.
