Former British Safety Council Director tells Britain to assist Nigeria over `horrific’ abductions

A former director at the British Safety Council, Ibironke Adeagbo, has told the British government to deploy advanced technology to assist Nigeria to overcome horrific school abductions taking place in northern part of the country.

Adeagbo made the appeal while speaking with the newsmen in Abuja on Thursday.

She was reacting to the latest kidnapping of students at the government secondary school, Kaya in Zamfara state, where up to 73 students were kidnapped on Wednesday.

Ibironke Adeagbo explained that Britain should not fold its arms as the country it brought to existence passes through a depressing phase with incessant kidnappings and snapping of innocent school kids from classrooms.

Imperial Britain colonised Nigeria and nurtured the country to amalgamation in 1914, making the country Africa’s most populous nation but the arrangement has faced serious problems after 107 years of existence.
