Kwara NSCDC Arrests Suspected Kidnapper Linked to Abduction of Woman and Her Two Sons
The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has apprehended a suspected kidnapper, Abu Umar, in connection with the abduction of a woman, Isiaka Halimah, and her two sons, Kabir and Hassan Isiaka.
Addressing journalists on Monday, December 2, 2024, at the Command headquarters in Ilorin, the State Commandant, Dr. Umar J.G. Mohammed, revealed that the victims were kidnapped on November 7, 2024, in the Gidanrogo area of Ajase-Ipo, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The suspect, who previously worked for the victims’ family, was traced and arrested after the kidnappers used his phone number to contact the family for ransom.
Dr. Umar stated, “The suspect is currently assisting the NSCDC in efforts to apprehend other members of the syndicate and secure the release of the victims.”
He reaffirmed the Command’s dedication to fighting criminal activities and ensuring the safety of residents in the state.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
