The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) has confirmed the kidnapping of a District Head, a Catholic catechist, and five others in the Gurzan Kurama community of Kaduna State.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the union condemned the abduction of the District Head of Garu Kurama and six other members of the Gurzan Kurama community.

The attack occurred on Saturday night, and those reportedly kidnapped include District Head Mr. Yakubu Jadi, Mr. Iliya Yakubu, Mr. Nehemiah Tanko, Mr. Thomas Tanko, Mr. Yakubu Jadi’s daughter, and the Catholic catechist of the community.

In the statement, issued by SOKAPU Public Relations Officer Josiah Yusuf Abraks, the incident was described as “unfortunate, alarming, and worrisome.”

“SOKAPU is calling on security agencies and relevant authorities to do their utmost to ensure the quick and safe release of District Head Mr. Yakubu Jadi and the six others,” the statement read.

“The trauma being experienced by the victims, their families, and the entire community can only be imagined. The union is urging governments at all levels to increase efforts in protecting the lives and property of citizens.”

The statement also advised all communities to be more organized and vigilant against unusual faces and movements in their environments and to report any such occurrences to the appropriate authorities.

“Insecurity across the land must not be allowed to escalate,” it added.

As of press time, the Kaduna State Police Command had yet to react to the kidnapping incident.
