Kidnapped schoolchildren: Tinubu sleepless, Aso Rock moody – Jibrin

A member of the House of Representatives from Kano State, Abdulmumin Jibrin, revealed that President Bola Tinubu has been unable to sleep amid the surge of school‑child kidnappings across Nigeria.

Jibrin said that those at the Presidential Villa in Abuja are in a very moody state because of the ongoing kidnappings.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Wednesday night, the lawmaker noted that Tinubu is actively working to address insecurity.

He stated: “The school children that were kidnapped is actually a difficult thing to talk about; my sympathy goes to the families of those kidnapped kids and those who lost their lives in the hands of kidnappers and bandits.”

“What I can assure you is that the president and his government are doing everything possible to see that the security situation is tackled,” he added.

“And immediately, they are doing everything possible to see that those kidnapped are returned to their families.”

“I’m just coming back from the Villa and everybody is moody and the matter is all about those kidnapped and their families.”

“Let me tell you something, the last person that can be able to sleep that I know very well is the president.”

“The president is doing everything possible to tackle the security situation. For immediate resolution, the government is doing everything possible to ensure those who have been kidnapped are returned to their families.”
