The Northern Senators Forum (NSF) has expressed worry over the spate of killings, and kidnappings in the region in recent times.
Chairman of the Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Yar’adua, in a statement, on Thursday, said the killings are not only reprehensible but demand urgent and resolute action, and assured that the Forum would provide lasting solutions to the issue.
Recall that on March 7, 2024, 286 students and staff were abducted in Kaduna.
Many other cases of abduction, attacks and killing of innocent citizens were also recorded in the North.
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
