Daniel Amos, Member of the House of Representatives for Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency.The incident occurred as the victims, mostly farmers, were returning home from their farmlands.

Amos, in the statement dated December 2, 2025, described the abduction as disturbing and indicative of the unrelenting insecurity facing rural communities.

Amos appealed to security agencies to intensify search and rescue operations, deploy intelligence-driven strategies, and ensure a coordinated approach to securing the release of the abducted victims. He emphasized the need for swift action capable of restoring public confidence in ongoing security efforts across Southern Kaduna.“We expect intensified surveillance, intelligence-driven operations, and a swift, coordinated response that reassures our people of their safety,” he said.
