African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has condemned the death of retired Major General Abubakar Rabe, a former Army spokesperson and Director of Defence Information, who reportedly dies while held in bandits’ captivity. In a statement released through his media office, Atiku describes the death as painful and unacceptable, saying it highlights the vulnerability of Nigerians, including people who previously served in the country’s security establishment. Atiku also criticises the security record of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, arguing that insecurity has worsened under the current government. He links his criticism to ongoing incidents involving terrorism and banditry, including a recent attack on schools in Chibok, Borno State, which he cites as further evidence of deteriorating security. Across the reports, Atiku’s reaction centres on mourning General Rabe while using the incident to call attention to what he portrays as a broader national security failure.
