Insecurity: NAS Urges Buhari To Declare State Of Emergency On Schools
The National Association of Seadogs, NAS, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency on the insecurity of schools over the incessant attacks on schools and abduction of school children.
NAS also known as Pyrates Confraternity said that the idea of declaring a state of emergency in schools was to curb the worrying situation in the country.
The NAS President, Mr Abiola Owoaje in a statement titled “Maramara Abduction: Another Assault on Education” stated that the inability of the security agencies to effectively halt attacks on schools “is portraying his administration as being weak, ineffectual and currently unable to inspire confidence in its citizens.”
Owoaje expressed sadness that millions of naira were being paid as ransom coupled with the trauma the families of the kidnapped children were subjected to.
The statement read in part: “Once again, with this Maramara abduction, the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) is saddened by the fact that the authorities were yet again caught napping as abductors successfully kidnapped another group of schoolchildren.
It is baffling that in all these incidents of abductions and in some instances, rescue and release of victims, no suspect had been apprehended by security operatives. It is increasingly scandalous and incongruous that harmless protesters exercising their fundamental human rights are vigorously suppressed by the security agencies, who disappointingly keep displaying apathy towards clamping down on marauding bandits.
“We keep trying to understand how this is so. With every new kidnapping, it is becoming glaringly difficult to explain other than acquiescent negligence.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has to see that the failure of the security agencies to effectively deal with these attacks on schools is portraying his administration as being weak, ineffectual and currently unable to inspire confidence in its citizens.
