He gave the directive on Monday, 17 November 2025, during an operational visit to the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While addressing frontline commanders and soldiers, General Shaibu urged them to pursue intelligence-led operations and sustain continuous, round-the-clock pressure on the abductors. \u201cWe must find these children. Act decisively and professionally on every piece of intelligence. Failure is not an option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The COAS also met with local vigilantes and hunters, acknowledging them as vital partners in the mission. He encouraged them to work closely with the military and use their deep knowledge of the terrain to help track down and dismantle criminal groups. \u201cTogether, we will restore peace and ensure our children can go to school without fear,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in the visit, General Shaibu paid condolence calls on the Traditional Ruler of Danko, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim Allaje, and the Principal of GGCSS Maga, Hajiya Rabi Musa Magaji, assuring them of the Army\u2019s firm commitment to rescuing the students safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
