Incessant killings, abductions, Kaduna community appeals to FG for military formation
The Ruruma community in the Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State has passionately appealed to the Federal Government to establish a military presence in Kwassam to halt escalating killings and abduction of their people by bandits.
A statement signed by its National President, Daniel Dallah Peace on Sunday emphasized the need for military presence in the area to ensure prompt action to help restore security and protect lives and properties in the area.
He lamented, “One of our own, a CBN Director, was once abducted in the area and N300m was paid as ransom for his release.”
Dala stated that a military formation in Kwassam would help in no small measure restore normalcy in surrounding vulnerable communities that have been displaced over the years, stressing that about a billion has so far been paid as ransom from the vulnerable communities where 13 people were gruesomely killed, and over 200 taken captive in the space of four months.
He stated, “The Military formation in Kwassam will enable the communities that have been displaced to return to their ancestral homes where they have their farms and farm produce. Currently, our traditional leader Alh. Dauda Abdulsalam, the Pugom Kumana, for some years, has not been at home because of the attempt made on his life by the bandits.”
