Three Teenage Girls Drown in Pond in Jigawa State
In a tragic incident in Tulla village, located in the Buji local government area of Jigawa State, three teenage girls drowned in a pond.
According to a statement released by ASC Badruddeen Tijjani Mahmud, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Jigawa State, the victims were identified as Fatima Sule and Nasiya Sale, both aged 12, and Huwaila Sa’adu, who was 13 years old.
The statement detailed that the girls had ventured to the pond to cut grass for their livestock when the unfortunate event occurred.
The NSCDC received an emergency call around 11:00 a.m. on Saturday from members of the Tulla community. A swift response was initiated, with the Buji Local Government Divisional Officer and the disaster management team arriving at the scene shortly after the call.
Working alongside local residents, the rescue team conducted a search operation that lasted approximately 30 minutes.
Their efforts led to the recovery of the girls’ bodies, which were subsequently transported to the Tulla village Health Center. There, the medical officer confirmed their deaths.
Following the confirmation, the bodies were returned to their families, who arranged for their burial in accordance with Islamic customs.
The loss has deeply affected the community, leading to a period of mourning. In response to the incident, the NSCDC has urged the public to exercise caution during the rainy season to prevent similar tragedies.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
