“We would like to felicitate with all the affected families for their safe return in good health. Also, we thank all those that show concerned prayers and assistance for the release of the abducted persons”.
“We want to equally register our dismay to security agencies particularly the police for their inaction to track down Kidnappers of Yahaya and others despite reliable information of their location and phone numbers of the Kidnappers given to them by prominent elders of our community.”
It is our view that the police should be up and doing in their responsibilities of fighting crimes of Kidnapping through intelligence gathering and synergy with local volunteers and vigilantes.
