Read Time:1 Minute, 44 Second
The lawmaker representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, Senator Sunday Marshal, has decried the recent abduction of 22 persons by bandits in Kugauta community of Kusheka, Kumana Chiefdom and Kitanda community of Geshere, Kumana Chiefdom in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The lawmaker who expressed sadness over the incident, said he would collaborate with the Kaduna State Government and the office of the Chief of Defence Staff to establish a forward Military Operation Base (FOB) in the troubled area.
In a statement, Senator Marshal described the attack as heinous criminality against innocent people.
“This heinous criminality against our innocent people, especially in communities of Kauru, Kachia, Zangon Kataf, Kaura and Sanga Local Government Areas in Kaduna State has brought immense pains, untold hardship and shaken the well-being of our people,” he said.
“Only recently, these bandits reportedly abducted 22 locals, mostly Women and Children, in separate attacks in the Kugauta community of Kusheka, Kumana Chiefdom and Kitanda community of Geshere, Kumana Chiefdom in Kauru Local Government Area.
“These renewed affronts on the peace-loving people of Southern Kaduna stand condemned in its entirety. These atrocities against our people must not continue unchecked and they must stop now.
“I am fully aware of the provisions of Section 14(2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 which declares that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. In this regard, I have since prioritised the safety and security of every citizen.
“To achieve this, I am collaborating with the Kaduna State Government and the Chief of Defence Staff to ensure the establishment of a Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Kauru Local Government and other communities to confront the assailants. I will continue to do whatever is necessary to secure the lives of our people.”
While thanking the security agencies for their efforts in taming the tide of insecurity, Senator Marshal appealed to them to redouble their efforts in ensuring the security of lives and property across communities in Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State and Nigeria as a whole.
