The Northern Senators Forum (NSF) has expressed deep concern regarding the recent surge in killings and kidnappings across the region. Senator Abdulaziz Yar’adua, Chairman of the Forum, issued a statement on Thursday condemning these acts as deplorable and emphasizing the need for immediate and decisive action. The Forum is committed to finding sustainable solutions to address this issue.
The statement highlights several distressing incidents, including the abduction of 286 students and staff in Kaduna on March 7th, an attack on worshippers in a mosque on March 8th, and subsequent abductions on March 12th, 17th, and 18th. These events underscore the gravity of the situation and the urgency of the response required.
The statement reads, “The distressing state of affairs concerning the recent wave of violence and kidnappings in the North is a major concern to the Northern Senators Forum (NSF).
“The series of events that have unfolded in Kaduna State, beginning with the kidnapping of 286 students and staff from a school on March 7th, the despicable attack on worshippers in a mosque on March 8th, the abduction of 61 more persons on March 12th, followed by 14 individuals on March 17th, and a staggering total of 87 individuals in Kujuru on March 18th, amongst others, are not only reprehensible but demand urgent and resolute action.
“We are committed to pursuing a lasting solution to this menace. We will not rest until the security situation is significantly improved and the perpetrators of these heinous acts are brought to justice. It is our core duty and mandate, and we will spare no effort in fulfilling it for the greater good of our people and our nation.”
