In a tragic update on the abduction of 287 students from a school in Northern Nigeria, the community of Kuriga remains gripped by fear and uncertainty as they await news of their missing children. The harrowing incident unfolded when a gang of armed men on motorbikes stormed the school, leaving parents distraught and desperate for the safe return of their loved ones.

As the days pass, the gravity of the situation deepens with reports emerging that the kidnappers are demanding an exorbitant ransom of 40 trillion naira for the release of the hostages. Amidst the turmoil, a governor has publicly called on President Tinubu to intervene and pay the ransom, citing the urgent need to secure the students’ freedom. However, President Tinubu has staunchly refused, stating that he will not negotiate with terrorists.

Meanwhile, the plight of the abducted students has sparked outrage and condemnation, especially in light of recent events. President Tinubu’s decision to travel to a different state to commission an airport, despite the ongoing security crisis in Kaduna state where the kidnapping occurred, has drawn sharp criticism from the public. Many question his priorities and leadership in the face of such dire circumstances.

As the nation grapples with this alarming situation, the fate of the kidnapped students and school staff hangs in the balance. The desperate plea for their safe return echoes across the country, as communities unite in solidarity and hope for a resolution to this devastating ordeal.
