Falana Urges Tinubu to Deploy 1,000 Forest Guards and Federal Delegation to Borno State

Senior Advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to extend security measures adopted in Oyo State to Borno. He highlighted that after approving the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards and dispatching a high-powered delegation to Ibadan over recent school kidnappings, similar steps are needed in the North-East. Falana noted that more than 415 children and citizens remain in captivity in Borno’s forests. He called on the Federal Government to immediately approve the recruitment of 1,000 well-trained and equipped forest guards for Borno and to send a solidarity delegation to assess the security situation. He also urged that related prosecutions against members of the Nigeria Forest Security Service be dropped to ensure full support for this initiative.
