The Northern Senators Forum expresses its deepest condolences to the people of Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, particularly the families of the victims who lost their lives in the recent kidnapping incident in the Kaura-Namoda Local Government Area.
The Chairman, Northern Senators’ Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua, in a statement said “the brutal killing of at least 35 innocent civilians, despite ransom payments, is a stark reminder of the security challenges facing our nation.
The Forum condemned the “heinous act” in the strongest possible terms and declare that it does not reflect the values, people, and aspirations of the North, adding “our region is known for its hospitality, peace, and tranquility, and such acts of violence only serve to undermine our cherished values”.
“We stand in solidarity with the people of Zamfara State during this difficult time and pray that Allah grants the departed souls eternal rest. May their families find solace in the face of this tragedy.
“We urge the security agencies to collaborate with local vigilantes to ensure that those responsible for this atrocity are brought to justice. Furthermore, we call on the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to be more proactive in their response to security threats. Intelligence gathering and sharing among agencies must be improved to prevent such incidents in the future.”
