Parents of 42 pupils abducted from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State have expressed their frustration with the Federal Government, claiming neglect in the response to the kidnapping incident. The abduction occurred on May 15, the same day that gunmen targeted schools in Oyo State, prompting a swift governmental response there, including a visit from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's delegation. Local leaders, including councillor Peter Haruna Waba, have voiced concerns over perceived disparities in the urgency of federal action, emphasizing that the families of the abducted children have been left in anguish without significant intervention. Additionally, calls for the recruitment of forest guards and a high-powered federal delegation to address the ongoing security challenges in Borno have been made by various stakeholders, highlighting the need for equitable treatment in the face of such crises.
