Nigerian House of Representatives has urged the Nigerian police inspector general, Solomon Arasel, to increase efforts to ensure the safe rescue of the three girls abducted from Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School in Ikorodu, Lagos State Nigeria.
The resolution by the House on Wednesday followed a motion of urgent public importance raised by Honourable Babjimi Benson.
Speaking on the motion, lawmakers expressed distress over the increasing number of girls and women abduction across Nigeria.
Adopting the motion which passed unanimously, the House said delegates would be sent to the school and also to meet with the parents.
The Nigerian police and other security agencies are also being urged to step up strict surveillance in Ikorodu and all schools in the state to avoid similar occurrence.
The three female students’ abduction by gunmen who were said to be heavily armed occurred on Monday night. The gunmen were said to have jumped the fence and shot continuously during the prep hour.
One of the parents of the abducted girls told Channels Television that the armed men had made an attempt sometimes in January this year but were repelled by the school security and the fence of the school was further raised.
