Shehu Sani Urges Collective Action Over Kajuru Kidnapping, Backs Kaduna Govt’s Security Efforts

Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has called for unity and collective responsibility in addressing the recent kidnapping incident 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, describing the rescue of the captives as 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 security efforts of Governor Uba Sani, noting that significant progress has been made in tackling insecurity across the state 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 emphasized that moments of crisis should not be exploited for political gains, stressing that the focus must remain on saving lives and restoring safety.

“Working towards securing the release of the hostages now is the priority. Everyone who has something to contribute should do that and not play politics with the lives of the people,” Sani warned.

He further noted that criminal elements often take advantage of vulnerable communities, urging sustained resolve in confronting insecurity.

“Bandits and terrorists will always hit 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 drawn attention to the persistent security challenges in parts of Kaduna State, with calls mounting for sustained collaboration between government, security agencies, and local communities to end banditry and terrorism.
