The Northern Senators’ Forum (NSF) has decried the abduction of 448 persons in Kaduna State in less than one month.
It called for concerted efforts to rescue the victims.
NSF Chairman Abdulaziz Yar’adua said this in a statement, titled: The recent spate of Kidnappings in the Month of March 2024, yesterday in Abuja.
He said: “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 members from a school on March 7, the despicable attack on worshippers in a mosque on March 8, the abduction of 61 more persons on March 12, followed by 14 individuals on March 17, and a staggering total of 87 individuals in Kujuru on March 18, 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.”
