Rising insecurity: PDP, ADC Urge Immediate Action Over Assault Of Govt Girls
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have both condemned the assault on Government Girls’ Comprehensive Senior Secondary School in Maga, located in Danko Wasagu LGA of Kebbi State.
Ini Ememobong, PDP national publicity secretary, said the incident reflects the “alarming rise in insecurity” across the country.
He added that the federal government, under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu has “preferred the politicisation of governance over the protection of citizens”.
Ememonong stated that the government must take responsibility for its inability to protect lives and property.
He extended his condolences to the family of the murdered vice-principal, the parents of the kidnapped students, and the Kebbi State Government.
The former Akwa Ibom commissioner said recent abductions in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kano and Katsina states show that insecurity “is clearly not the hope promised Nigerians”.
Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC national publicity secretary, said the attack is “another painful reminder of the worsening insecurity across the country”.
Abdullahi said the party has repeatedly warned the federal government to confront insecurity with “seriousness and urgency”, adding that the administration has “turned a blind eye to the suffering of ordinary Nigerians”.
He warned that the kidnapping must not turn into a repeat of the 2014 Chibok girls’ incident.
Abdullahi added that a government unable to safeguard its schools cannot claim credibility in its promise to protect Nigerians.
He called on Tinubu to ensure the abducted students are rescued “without delay” and urged security agencies to respond with “urgency, clarity, and competence”.
He further emphasized that the government should utilize all available intelligence resources and enhance coordination among security agencies.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
