…lament bullying, killing in schools

Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has expressed dismay and worry over anti-social and criminal acts, ranging from bullying, murder, kidnappings, homosexuality and cultism among others that have become rampant in Nigerian schools.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Emmanuel Yawe, the Forum lamented that the latest of cases of horror is the alleged kidnapping and murder of a five year old pupil, Hanifa Abubakar by her teacher Abdulmalik Muhammed at a private school in Kwanar Dakatar in Kano state.

ACF noted that the killer was alleged to have kidnapped the young girl, his student, and taken her to his house where he demanded six million Naira ransoms and subsequently killed her.

“This is a horror story, comparable to what happened in December last year when Sylvester Oromoni, a 12 year old student of Dowen College was bullied and tutured to death by his fellow students because he refused to join them in their cult activities.

“The Arewa Consultative Forum would like to call the attention of the authorities to this new epidemic of drugs, brutality, cults and death which is taking over all schools across the country and endangering the lives of our daughters on sons and the future of our country.

“These horrors are not limited to private schools. But we are particularly concerned about what goes on in private schools because they take their students as commodities which should be traded for money”.

“ACF is of the view that this horrible trend will not only destroy the future of these innocent children but that of our Nigeria and called on our governments to step in forcedly and nip this trend in the bud.

“The governments have  to look into schools they also own. Our children have reported to us similar acts of bullying in government and even in military schools where they are been bullied to join cult groups or indulge in homosexual acts or adopt homosexuality as a way of time.

The Forum added that: “This press release serves as a warming to the government to save the Nigerian children who have been trapped in this web of inhumanity created by school teachers, proprietors, administrators”.
