Governor Uba Sani has assured that his administration, in collaboration with other security agencies, will ensure the safe return of all those who were kidnapped in Kurmin Wali village on Sunday.

The Governor gave this reassurance on Wednesday when he led a large delegation of senior government officials and heads of security agencies to commiserate with the people of Kurmin Wali, said that he will not rest until the abducted are returned home safely.

‘’In  the last two days, we have been collaborating with the relevant security agencies, both the military, the DSS, the police, and the Office of National Security Adviser,  to ensure the quick return and recovery of our people that were abducted in this very important community,’’ he said.

He said the number of those who were kidnapped does not matter, adding that  whether it was one person that was abducted or 100 people, ‘’it  is the  responsibility of  Kaduna State government to protect the lives and property of the people.’’

The Governor condemned those who have been using the unfortunate incident to score a political point, admonishing them that ‘’we should not be talking about numbers or politics.”

‘’We are talking about the sanctity of human life and dignity here. And that is the reason why we will go to any length, collaborating with the security agencies, to ensure the quick return  of our people here in Kurmin Wali,’’ he stated.
