Kaduna Senator Condemns Killings, Kidnappings Of Women, Children In Constituency

Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, has strongly condemned the recent attacks, killings, and kidnappings by terrorists in communities across his district.

In a statement issued in Kaduna on Wednesday, Senator Katung expressed his deep worry over the renewed attacks, which have brought immense pains, untold hardship, and shaken the well-being of the people.

Specifically, the senator mentioned the abduction of 22 locals, mostly women and children, in separate attacks in Kauru Local Government Area, in Southern Kaduna.

He assured that he has prioritized the safety and security of every citizen and is collaborating with the Kaduna State Government and the Chief of Defence Staff to establish a Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Kauru Local Government and other communities to confront the assailants.

The lawmaker said, “These atrocities against our people must not continue unchecked. And it must stop now.

“I am fully aware of the provisions of Section 14(2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 which declares that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.

“I will continue to do whatever is necessary to secure the lives of our people.

“I appeal to the security agencies to redouble their efforts in ensuring the security of lives and property across communities in Southern Kaduna.”

The senator also urged the people to partner with the security agencies in providing relevant information that would lead to the arrest of the criminal elements and their informants.

“We must support the security agencies to safeguard our communities. Let me once again extend my deepest sympathies and commiserate with the families of the victims across our communities. This too, shall pass,” Katung added.
