Tinubu Under Fire Over Kebbi Schoolgirls’ Kidnapping and Killing of Brigadier General Uba

President Bola Tinubu is once again at the center of intense public outrage as Nigeria grapples with yet another wave of violent insecurity. The latest uproar stems from two devastating incidents that have deepened national anxiety: the killing of a respected senior military officer, Brigadier General Uba, and the shocking abduction of approximately 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi State.

Across social platforms, community forums, and national conversations, angry citizens are demanding immediate answers from the president, accusing the government of failing to curb the escalating crisis. Many believe that the current administration has not taken decisive action to dismantle the networks responsible for these recurring tragedies—particularly mass kidnappings involving schoolchildren and deadly attacks on security personnel.

The killing of Brigadier General Uba has further raised concerns about the boldness of criminal groups, who now appear to be capable of targeting even high-ranking officers without consequences. His death has reignited conversations about the morale of military forces, operational gaps, intelligence failures, and the overall direction of Nigeria’s security structure.

Similarly, the abduction of the Kebbi schoolgirls has revived painful memories of previous mass kidnappings, including Chibok, Dapchi, and Jangebe. Parents and local leaders in Kebbi are calling for swift rescue operations, reiterating that the trauma of losing children to bandits is becoming an unbearable trend.

Citizens are demanding stronger leadership, better security coordination, and transparent strategies for protecting schools across the country. Many Nigerians believe that unless firm actions are taken, both rural and urban communities will continue to live under constant fear of attacks, kidnappings, and high-profile assassinations.

As the pressure mounts, Nigerians are watching closely to see how President Tinubu will address the growing backlash—and whether his administration will finally implement durable solutions to restore peace, confidence, and security across the nation.
