Atiku Blames Tinubu’s Gov. Over Death Of Retired General

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has blamed the Federal Government for the death of retired Major General Abubakar Rabe, who died while being held by bandits in Katsina State.

He said the incident reflects a deep failure in Nigeria’s security system.

Atiku, in a statement released through his media aide, said the situation shows that no Nigerian is safe, regardless of status or past service to the country.

He described the late military officer as a man who served Nigeria with dedication before falling into the hands of criminals.

Reports indicate that the retired general was abducted alongside his wife, who is still in captivity, and later died from health complications while efforts to secure his release continued.

His death has triggered renewed concern over rising cases of kidnapping and banditry.

He also linked the incident to fresh attacks in Borno State, where schools were reportedly set ablaze in Chibok area, saying both events show worsening insecurity across the country.

Atiku called for stronger action to protect lives and prevent further tragedies.
