Nigerian rapper and activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has once again stirred national conversation, this time questioning the silence surrounding the abductors responsible for the recent kidnappings in Kwara and Niger States.
His comments followed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s announcement on Sunday, November 23, confirming that all victims had been rescued.
Falz had taken to social media shortly after the president’s official statement on X, which reported the safe return of 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State, and 51 Catholic school students from Niger State who were earlier declared missing.
While he acknowledged the relief that comes with the victims’ rescue, the rapper wondered why no information had been shared about the individuals behind the attacks.
To him, celebrating the rescue was important, but Nigerians also deserved clarity on whether the perpetrators had been tracked down, arrested, or neutralised.
President Tinubu, in his statement, noted that he had cancelled his planned trip to the G20 Summit in South Africa to coordinate security efforts at home. He praised the security agencies for their work in the past few days and assured citizens that he remains fully involved in monitoring nationwide security developments.
My fellow Nigerians,
You will recall that I cancelled my trip to the G20 summit in South Africa to enable me coordinate the security efforts at home.
Thanks to the efforts of our security forces over the last few days, all the 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State…

The president further reiterated his commitment to protecting the lives of Nigerians, declaring that he would “not relent” until the nation is secure.
Falz’s reaction has echoed the concerns of many Nigerians, who continue to question the rising wave of abductions and the lack of transparency regarding the fate of the criminal networks behind them.
At the time this report was filed, security agencies had not issued any official statement confirming arrests linked to either of the two incidents.
THIS DOES NOT CUT IT. Where are the abductors?? Were they killed? How many arrests were made ??? https://t.co/ZEyiFrEg5Z
