He also expressed that Nigeria needs solutions to the menace, as it is now apparent that paying ransom to criminals is not the solution.
The former vice-president urged the federal government to end the reign of impunity by arresting and making examples of criminal elements as a deterrent to others.
Abubakar advised the government to be proactive, adding that history may not forgive them if they carry on with doing things the way they had always been.
