Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has expressed deep sorrow over the abduction of 25 students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, and the killing of the school’s Vice Principal during the attack.
In a statement posted on her official handle, Tinubu described the incident as “heartbreaking,” noting that it was not only an attack on innocent schoolgirls and dedicated educators but also “an assault on the values of safety and learning that schools embody.”
She said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had already directed security agencies to ensure the quick and safe rescue of the abducted girls and to bring the perpetrators to justice.
“My heart and prayers are with the families, friends, loved ones and schoolmates at this time,” she said, praying for the safe return of the children and for the soul of the slain Vice Principal to rest in Aljannah Firdaus.
The First Lady called for collective prayers and support as the nation awaits updates on the rescue efforts.
