The latest of these was the release of 24 schoolgirls abducted by terrorists in Maga, Kebbi, last Monday.
Kafilat Adetola Ogbara, the lawmaker representing Kosofe Federal Constituency in Lagos, has questioned why no kidnappers have been arrested or paraded by the police despite the recent release of abducted schoolchildren.
The latest of these was the release of 24 schoolgirls abducted by terrorists in Maga, Kebbi, last Monday.
Recall that terrorists struck the school at dawn on November 17 and abducted the girls moments after a military detachment left the premises.
The Kebbi incident triggered other copycat kidnappings in Eruku, Kwara State, and Papiri, Niger State.
It was reported that all 38 kidnapped victims in Eruku were freed on Sunday.
On the same day, the Niger State chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria said 50 of the missing students of the Catholic School in Niger had been reunited with their parents.
In all of this, nothing has been reported about the arrest of the terrorist kidnappers.
Speaking on the floor of the House on Wednesday, Kafilat, who called for State Police, also urged governors to do more, insisting that the President cannot be everywhere at the same time.
“We need our governors to do more. The president cannot be everywhere; he cannot be in Sokoto, he cannot be in Zamfara, he cannot be in Ogun, and he cannot be in Lagos, his own state,” she said.
“We have seen the children, where are the kidnappers?”
