A former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has said that some schools in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have told parents to keep their children at home.
This is amid the rising insecurity in the country which has seen schoolchildren in the northern part abducted in large numbers.
Sani tweeted on Thursday “This morning, some schools in Abuja have asked parents to keep their children at home pending the security situation. The monster has reached the centre,”
In an earlier post, he said, “University lecturers and academics are becoming the targets of kidnappers; As we have seen in the attacks on the Ahmadu Bello University, Kaduna State Polytechnic and now University of Abuja.”
Another post from the former lawmaker read, “The location of the University of Abuja in the Federal Capital and its proximity to military formations has not protected its inhabitants from terrorists & kidnappers. As long as the neighbouring states of the FCT are not safe, Abuja can’t be safe.”
