Exam halls should be sanctuaries not crime scenes, Atiku condemns Kogi abductions

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar condemned the abduction of the principal of Government Secondary School, Odo-Ekina, a NECO ad hoc official, and students during NECO examinations in Kogi State. He stated that an exam hall should be a sanctuary of hope, not a crime scene, and accused the Nigerian government of abandoning its fundamental duty to protect life and education. Atiku linked the attack to normalized insecurity under the Tinubu administration and reckless federal budgeting.
