The police have also urged the public to remain calm and assured them that they are doing everything in their power to ensure the safety of all citizens.

As the nation mourns the loss of this young girl, it is important to remember that this tragedy could have been avoided if the government had taken more proactive steps to address the issue of insecurity in the country.

It is time for the government to act decisively and put an end to the scourge of kidnapping and other forms of violent crime that are plaguing the nation.
