School Girls Abduction: PDP Visits Kebbi, Calls For Collective Action Against Insecurity
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, visited Kebbi State to show support to the government and families following the safe rescue of 24 students abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, GGCSS, Maga.
The delegation, led by PDP National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, met with Governor Nasir Idris and other state officials at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi on Thursday.
The party urged collective action across communities, regardless of political, religious, or ethnic differences, to address insecurity in the state and nationwide.
Turaki highlighted the importance of unity in confronting kidnappings, noting: “A kidnapper does not ask for your party affiliation, language, or religion. Criminals see everyone as a potential target. There is no reason we cannot unite as one people to confront this menace.”
He also called on the National Assembly to review the legal framework for governors as Chief Security Officers, stressing that current limitations hinder their ability to manage security effectively.
Governor Idris’ timely intervention, according to the PDP, contributed to the swift rescue of the students, all of whom were reportedly unharmed. The state government confirmed that the girls have undergone medical checks and have been reunited with their families.
Deputy Governor Umar Abubakar Tafida described the visit as a demonstration of cross-party support, emphasizing that national interest must take precedence over political differences.
“This visit shows that our national interest is greater than individual or party considerations,” he said.
The PDP’s visit also included calls for stronger collaboration between communities and security agencies to prevent future attacks and safeguard children’s education in Kebbi State.
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.
