First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, called kidnappers cowards.
She also stated that anyone found guilty of kidnapping should receive the death penalty.
She made these remarks in response to the abduction of 200 women in Borno State and the kidnapping of over 280 pupils and teachers in Kaduna State.
Remi Tinubu expressed, “Anyone who kidnaps young people is sick, cruel, and a coward.
“Enough is enough and I urge the state governors that when we apprehend them, they deserve the death penalty.
“Why don’t they target people their own size? Why are they harming our children? Their aim is to destroy our future.
“We all know that as we grow old, we rely on our children.
“Why would they take them from schools? At this point, I believe enough is enough. As a former lawmaker, I believe that anyone captured deserves the death penalty.
“They (kidnappers) are animals, they are evil and we should remove them from our midst.
“The state governors and the lawmakers should take action.”
PUNCH reports that about 200 women were reportedly kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists in the Gamboru-Ngala and Dikwa local government areas of Borno State.
The women, who were Internally Displaced Persons, were said to have been kidnapped while they went into the bush in search of firewood.

The bandits reportedly invaded the Kuriga area of the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Thursday, shooting at their victims before taking away at least 280 of the pupils and teachers from both schools.
