The safety of children in schools in some parts of Northern Nigeria is at a critical juncture due to the persistent threat of kidnapping and the activities of bandits. Concerns about this alarming situation have been voiced by Rep. Sani Jaji, representing the Kaura-Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency in Zamfara under the APC (All Progressives Congress). Jaji drew attention to the recent abductions of students at the Federal University Gusau and another incident in Katsina. He highlighted the paralyzing impact of bandit-related criminal activities on the education system in Northern Nigeria.
Rep. Sani Jaji emphasized the growing fear among residents as a result of the criminal activities of bandits in the region. The relentless spate of abductions has sowed fear and uncertainty, especially among parents, who worry about the safety of their children when they go to school. This ongoing insecurity crisis has created a climate of apprehension and anxiety. Addressing the issue through legislative motions, discussions, observing moments of silence, and calling on security agencies to take action has not yielded the desired results. The situation continues to deteriorate, and the safety of students and the overall security of the region remain in jeopardy.

Sani Jaji called for nationwide awareness regarding the security challenges faced in Zamfara State and the broader North-West region. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to decisively address the insecurity crisis and safeguard the lives and properties of the people.
