Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed deep concern over the continued captivity of abducted schoolchildren in Nigeria, saying that this year’s Children’s Day celebration offers little joy while many families are still in pain.
Obi noted that instead of celebration, the day serves as a painful reminder of the unresolved insecurity affecting children across the country. He lamented that several schoolchildren remain in captivity, with no clear assurance of their safe return.
According to him, the situation reflects a broader national crisis that demands urgent and sustained action from authorities to ensure the safety of children in schools and communities.
He urged government and security agencies to intensify efforts toward securing the release of all abducted children and restoring public confidence in the safety of education in Nigeria.
