 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State.


Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area.


The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers.


Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results.


Chairman of the union in the FCT, Mr Abdullahi Shafa, explained that the nationwide solidarity protest was to condemn the killing of the teacher and abduction of the school children and demand their release.


Shafa said that the protest was in compliance with a directive from the union’s national headquarters.


He described the incident as disturbing and unacceptable, noting that teachers should not be subjected to such violence while carrying out their duties
