First Lady Tasks Security Agencies To Curb Kidnapping, Other Forms Of Insecurity

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has called on security agencies to step up their game in the task of ridding the country of the menace of kidnapping and other forms of insecurity.

First Lady Tinubu made the call in a statement she personally authored on Monday, January 15, in reaction to the kidnap of Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar, his six children and others from Bwari council area last Tuesday.


Between Tuesday when the kidnap occurred and today, Monday, the kidnappers have killed not less than four of their victims and moved demanded ransom from N60 million to N700 million.

However, the First Lady, in her statement, expressed sadness over the development and called for prayers for the victims.

“It is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge the devastating loss of Nabeeha and extend my deepest condolences to her grieving family.

“In difficult moments like this, I urge the nation to join in fervent prayers for the safe return of these girls. Let us hold the families close to our hearts in prayers.

“I implore our security agencies to intensify their efforts in addressing the pressing matter of kidnappings and insecurity in our nation. The safety and swift return of the Al-Kadriyar sisters and others in captivity should be our paramount concern.

“To the parents, especially mothers, I appeal for intensified prayers for our children and for peace to prevail in our beloved country.

May the Almighty God comfort the Al-Kadriyar family for their loss and may God bring the other children back home safely. God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, the statement said.
