Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu, has called for severe penalties, including capital punishment, for individuals found guilty of kidnapping school children in the country.
Mrs. Tinubu emphasized that it is time to take decisive action against those responsible for the abduction of school students, stating that enough is enough.
In response to the recent incident where terrorists stormed LGEA Primary School, Kuriga (1), Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, kidnapping about 285 pupils and teachers, Mrs. Tinubu urged state governors and lawmakers to implement stricter sanctions to curb the menace of abducting school pupils.
Addressing journalists on Friday, Mrs Tinubu said: “Whoever is kidnapping young people is sick and a coward, enough is enough. I call on the state government that once we take hold of them it’s capital punishment.
“Why don’t they take people their size? Why are they torturing our children? We all know parents rely on children when we are old and as a former lawmaker, I believe any of them captured should be subjected to capital punishment, enough is enough.
“They are animals, evil, and we should take them out from wherever they come from. The governors and lawmakers should do something.”
