In response to the recent abduction from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, the Kebbi State Police Command expressed concern over intelligence reports suggesting that some organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are planning to stage a protest.
The police warned organisers against starting any protest in a statement released on Friday by the Command’s spokesman, Nafiu Abubakar, arguing that the state’s current security situation is too fragile for public demonstrations.
Such gatherings, according to the police, could cause tension and possibly lead to violence.
The Command criticized the planned protest as “misguided and counterproductive,” arguing that it might undermine security personnel’s ongoing efforts to rescue the kidnapped schoolgirls unharmed despite the widespread outcry over the abduction.

The police reiterated their commitment to safeguarding lives and property, assuring residents that the preservation of public order is still top of mind.
Additionally, they urged the general public to support security operations by promptly reporting suspicious activity to the police station or security agency closest to them.
This comes days after gunmen stormed the school in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of the state and eluded the students.
Difficulty of schoolgirls were abducted before the attackers killed Malam Hassan Makuku, the vice principal.
Witnesses claimed that the bandits’ actions were repressive and widespread, causing widespread panic and ecstatic rage throughout the area.
During the invasion, Makuku allegedly was shot while attempting to protect the students.
