National Concern: Peter Obi Expresses Frustration At Nigerians’ Helplessness Amidst Danger

Nabeeha was laid to rest according to Islamic rites on Saturday.

Obi, in a series of tweets on X on Sunday, said the tragic killing not only shows how insecurity currently ravages the nation but also shows “how helpless Nigerians have become in the face of these dangers.”

He said the latest tragedy should prick the conscience of leaders to realise their primary duty, which according to the constitution, is to protect the life of every Nigerian citizen.

Obi called on the government and security agencies to put more efforts in ensuring that the remaining members of the family in captivity were released.

The former Anambra State Governor commiserated with the bereaved family and prayed for the repose of the soul of the departed.

He wrote, “The reported tragic killing of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, who was kidnapped alongside her father and siblings in Abuja, by bandits, not only shows how insecurity currently ravages the nation but also shows how helpless Nigerians have become in the face of these dangers.

“The trauma being experienced by this family and the blood of this innocent child should prick our conscience as leaders, whose duty it is to protect the life of every Nigerian citizen.
