Uneasy calm in Kaduna over continued abductions – Senator Usman

The Senator representing Kaduna Central Zone in the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, Lawal Adamu Usman has raised alarm over the heightened tensions caused by terrorism attacks, killings and unwholesome abductions of several persons.
The terror attacks happened in communities of Kajuru, Chikun, Birnin-Gwari,Giwa and Igabi Local governments of the State. 

The senator gave his opinion in a press release signed by the Senator and made available to Journalists in Minna, insisting that in the last few weeks of the year 2024 Kaduna Central had witnessed the escalation of tensions in the areas.

Senator Adamu expressed sadness and shock over the abduction of pupils of primary school and students of Secondary School at Kuriga Chikun Local government area along the dreaded Birnin-Gwari-Kaduna highway.

He confirmed the spate of gruesome attacks and abductions in recent days, which he said, has demoralized the citizens and further put them in a traumatic condition without any insight of a sign of relief.

“As a Senator representing the area, I extend my deepest sympathy to all the parents and families of the pupils and Students abducted at Kuriga and all those that lost their precious lives.” he noted.

According to the Senator, our security forces are working assiduously to bring our children back safely, while I urged governments at all levels and our security forces to be more proactive, rather than reactive in dealing decisively with miscreants terrorizing our communities.

He argued that despite all the efforts and successes recorded by the security forces to curtail attacks by terrorists, there is the need to take the fight to the doorstep of the terrorist enclaves
