Tajudeen, Reps Speaker, Denounces Abduction Of Workers And Patients In Kaduna

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has condemned the abduction of workers and patients in Kaduna State.

On Monday, bandits kidnapped two nurses and two patients from the Primary Healthcare Centre in Kuyallo community in Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of the north-western state.

According to reports, the attackers turned on the health facility after their plan to abduct students of the Government Day Secondary School in the community failed.

Reacting to the incident on Tuesday, the Speaker said he was deeply worried about the activities of bandits and kidnappers.

Noting that they were becoming too daring in their nefarious activities recently, Tajudeen called on security agencies to rescue the victims.

“The activities of bandits have become too rampant, especially with the last attack on vulnerable targets like a hospital.

“Our security forces need to, as a matter of emergency, go after the abductors and rescue those abducted from the health facility. They must ensure that no Nigerian kidnapped in any part of the country remains in captivity,” the Speaker said.

He also called for sustained efforts to rid every part of Nigeria of the menace of kidnapping, banditry and terrorism.
