Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has expressed profound sorrow over the abduction of 25 students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, and the tragic killing of the school’s Vice Principal.
In a heartfelt message, the First Lady described the incident as “heartbreaking,” noting that it was not only an attack on innocent girls and devoted educators but also an assault on the core values that schools represent — safety, learning, and hope.
Mrs Tinubu disclosed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has already directed security agencies to ensure the swift and safe rescue of the abducted students and to bring the attackers to justice without delay.
“My heart and prayers are with the families, friends, loved ones and schoolmates at this very difficult time,” she said, conveying the grief felt across the country.
She offered prayers for the immediate rescue of the abducted girls and for the repose of the soul of the slain Vice Principal, asking God to grant him eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus.
