Nigeria: démission du ministre de la Défense après une nouvelle vague de kidnappings (présidence)

Nigerian Defense Minister Mohammed Badaru Abubakar has resigned, the presidency announced on Monday, as the country grapples with a security crisis marked by mass kidnappings of schoolchildren.

President Bola Tinubu declared a nationwide "security emergency" last week after hundreds of people, mostly schoolchildren, were abducted. Tinubu's spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said in a statement that Abubakar, 63, was resigning with immediate effect due to health reasons.
