Borno South Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume met with the new Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Major General Ibikunle Ajose, to discuss the safe recovery of abducted schoolchildren and travelers in Borno State and the broader North-East region. During a closed-door meeting at the Maimalari Military Cantonment in Maiduguri, Ndume emphasized the importance of securing the release of over 40 pupils and students abducted in Mussa, more than 30 students kidnapped in Lassa, and passengers including a toddler abducted in a terrorist ambush on the Biu-Buratai-Buni Yadi road in February 2026.
The Senator commended the military for its efforts to combat insecurity and urged them to intensify their efforts to secure the release of the abducted individuals. Ndume stated that while most of their discussions were security matters and would not be disclosed, the safe recovery of the Lassa and Mussa schoolchildren and the Biu travelers was his top priority.
The Theatre Commander assured Ndume that the military would continue its operations to address insecurity in the region.
