Taraba rejects almajiris transferred from Nasarawa

The Taraba State Government on Monday rejected several ‘almajiri’ children transferred from Nasarawa State.

The kids had to sleep outside the office of the Secretary to the Taraba State Government and were only attended to at 10 a.m. on Monday.Multiple sources say that the returning children were later asked to go and stay by the signboard welcoming travellers into the capital along the Jalingo-Wukari road to wait for the officials of the state.

“The government of Taraba State wish to return the pupils to you and requests that the pupils should be properly profiled indicating their local government of origin in Taraba State and ‘individual status’ in respect of the pandemic.” The official stated that Nasarawa had evacuated over 1000 almajiris to their respective states but said it was only Taraba that turned them back.

Since the coronavirus pandemic broke out in Nigeria, many state governors have taken strict measures to curb its spread including closing their boundaries and restricting movement.

What crime have these kids committed? Why the tossing? Can FG intervene?

Oh Allah, do not give us a second wave of punishment for the way the government is treating this kids. Although their parents might be blamed in the first place, but atleast they have constitutional rights. Corona, please take out the wrong ones...

Is unfortunate they re indigines, why this action by the state government?

Where are their parents for God's sake! Even a fowl takes care of its chicks..

One of the Nasarawa officials who accompanied the children expressed dismay over the action. “Almajiris brought were not provided with food and left inside vehicles that brought them for several hours and only to be rejected even though they are indigenes of the state,” he said.

Children of unfortunate parents

adamugarba will receive them as the first grandson of almajirai

The north can now clearly see among others the menace of that Almajiris system...EndAlmajiris

They should receive their own pride oh
