Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has called for unity and collective responsibility following the recent kidnapping in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, urging Nigerians to avoid politicising the tragedy.
Reacting to the incident, Sani expressed confidence in the capacity of the Kaduna State Government and security agencies to secure the release of the abducted victims, stressing that their rescue must remain an urgent priority.
“I have no doubt that the Kaduna State Government and the security agencies will work diligently to secure the release of the captives,” the former lawmaker said.
While condemning the attack, Sani acknowledged the efforts of Governor Uba Sani in tackling insecurity across the state, noting that significant progress has been recorded over the past two years.
“Despite this tragic incident, Governor Uba Sani has been doing a lot to secure the state in the last two years, and his efforts should be appreciated,” he stated.
The rights activist warned against exploiting moments of crisis for political gain, insisting that the focus should remain on saving lives and restoring safety to affected communities.
“Working towards securing the release of the hostages now is the priority. Everyone who has something to contribute should do so, rather than play politics with the lives of the people,” Sani said.
He further observed that criminal elements often target vulnerable communities, calling for sustained resolve and cooperation in the fight against insecurity.
“Bandits and terrorists will always strike soft targets, and we must never waver or falter in our determination to defeat them and secure our state and country,” he added.
The Kajuru kidnapping has once again brought renewed attention to the lingering security challenges in parts of Kaduna State, with growing calls for sustained collaboration between government, security agencies and local communities to end banditry and terrorism.
