Parents and community members of Mussa and Lassa in Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State have threa.tened to storm the Presidential Villa in Abuja within six days if their abdvcted children are not rescued
The distressed families, whose children have now spent over 130 days in the hands of insurgents, voiced their frustrations during a protest over the government’s perceived inaction in Askira Uba.
The children were seized during a wave of abdvctions that began on May 15, 2026.
According to the parents, the mass k!dnapping includes 44 children from Mussa Ward and 36 from Lassa schools.
The chairman of the parents, Ishaku Suya, who led the outcry, issued a direct and emotional appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“I’m making this loudest call to Mr. President that we, the parents of the abdvcted children of Mussa and Lassa, will take over the streets of the presidential villa if he doesn’t rescue our children as he rescued the Oyo children. He should either k!ll us, leave us alive, or rescue our children,” he said
Another grieving mother, Josphin Yohanna, lamented the alleged disparity in the government’s response to the abdvction of the school children in different regions.
She said the swift rescue of abdvcted children in Oyo State as clear proof that the Federal Government possesses the operational capacity to act decisively.
“Why shouldn’t the president extend similar urgency to our children in the northeast? We are equally Nigerians,” she decried.
