The National Assembly has urged security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue Nigerians held captive by armed groups across the country, expressing concern over ongoing insecurity in rural communities. Senate President Godswill Akpabio emphasized that as long as a single Nigerian is held captive, a part of Nigeria remains captive, and the chamber cannot call itself free.
In response to the motion of urgent public importance by Midala Balami, the House of Representatives called for coordinated security operations to secure the safe release of 116 schoolchildren abducted in Borno State. The lawmakers' call for action comes amid heightened political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
