Army withdrawal: Seven months later, who is accountable?

Guardian Nigeria

Who gave the order to pull soldiers out of a school just before terrorists stormed it? In November 2025, a horrific invasion at government girls' secondary school in Kerby saw students abducted and lives tragically lost.   The Nigerian Senate demanded answers, urging the army to reveal who authorized the withdrawal. The Minister for State for Defense also stated the military would need to explain this critical decision.   Months later, silence prevails. The government, Ministry of Education, and state officials have offered no clarity. The Nigerian military's top brass has yet to disclose who gave the fateful order for the soldiers' withdrawal.   We demand to know: who is responsible for the security lapse at the Kerby school?   #KerbyAttack #NigerianMilitary #SchoolSafety #Accountability
