In a statement signed by the National Chairman of the Forum Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Yelwa, Ajiyan Yauri, the forum supports Governor Idris’s call for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the abduction.
The forum expresses concern over security lapses and failures that led to the incident, citing the Chibok girls’ abduction as a painful reminder.Comrade
Governor Idris has publicly questioned the withdrawal of soldiers from the school’s vicinity shortly before the attack.
Security agencies, supported by Governor Idris and coordinated by Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle, are intensifying search and rescue operations.
Governor Idris has directed daily special prayers all over the state for the students’ safe return and appealed to parents to remain calm.
