The Senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ndume, has called on the Nigerian military to intensify efforts towards the rescue of school children and travellers abducted from communities across Southern part of the state, saying they have stayed for over 100 days in captivity.
The request, according to a post on the Senator’s official Facebook page on Thursday, covers schoolchildren abducted from Mussa and Lassa communities, Askira Uba local government area, passengers abducted along the Buratai axis and the remaining victims from Ngoshe in Gwoza local government area of the state.
Ndume, who made the appeal during a visit to the Headquarters of the Theatre Command, Northeast Joint Taskforce Operation Hadin Kai in Maiduguri on Wednesday, commended the Nigerian military for its sustained efforts in combating insurgency, but insisted that the school children and other victims have stayed too long away from their families.
He said, “Most importantly, General, I know you are putting in your best efforts towards the rescue of our children in Mussa and Lassa, the passengers abducted along the Buratai axis and the remaining victims from Ngoshe.
