Popular rapper and human rights activist Folarin Falana, widely known as Falz, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign, following the abduction of more than 100 students in Niger State.
The incident occurred in the early hours of November 21, when armed men invaded St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri, Agwara Local Government Area, kidnapping dozens of students and members of staff.
Security Agencies Launch Rescue Operation
The Niger State Police Command confirmed the attack, revealing that tactical police units, military personnel, and other security outfits have begun a coordinated search across surrounding forests in an effort to rescue the victims.
Authorities also criticized the school for reopening without government authorization, noting that an earlier security advisory had warned institutions in the area to suspend academic activities.

“If he resigns, will his whole cabinet go too? They all need to leave because what is happening in this country is really messy.”
