Atiku Abubakar, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, has strongly condemned the brutal murder of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a 400-level biological science student at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, who was abducted with her siblings and tragically killed by her captors. The former vice president and 2023 presidential candidate expressed deep sorrow over the incident, emphasizing the need for urgent security reforms in Nigeria.
In a statement released on his official social media account, Atiku decried the unchecked operations of kidnappers and bandits in the country, citing Nabeeha’s senseless killing as a stark indicator of the prevailing security challenges. He urged for a comprehensive overhaul of the security architecture to curb the brazen activities of criminal elements and ensure the safety of lives and property across the nation.
The tragic abduction of Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar and his six children, including Nabeeha, had sent shockwaves across the country. Following the abduction, the kidnappers initially demanded a ransom of N60 million, which tragically escalated to N100 million after Nabeeha’s untimely death. This incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice on social media, with Nigerians demanding the immediate rescue of Nabeeha’s remaining siblings.
With the situation garnering public attention and outcry, the Nigeria Police Force has acknowledged the gravity of the matter. The police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, assured the public of ongoing efforts to secure the safe release of the remaining abducted individuals, while also seeking crucial information from the public to aid in their rescue efforts.
The untimely demise of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar has evoked a significant response from the Nigerian populace, highlighting the urgent need for effective measures to counter the growing threat posed by criminal elements. As the nation mourns the loss of a promising young student, Atiku’s impassioned plea for security reforms resonates as a crucial call to action in safeguarding the lives of the country’s citizens and restoring a sense of security and peace.
