70 Days Later, Easter Worshippers Still Missing in Kaduna

Eleven residents were abducted during an attack on Easter Sunday church services in the Kuturmi community, Kachia Local Government Area, Kaduna State, and have been missing for 70 days. The Kuturmi Community Development Association, represented by its president J.

D. Ariko and public secretary Manasseh Samuel, expressed concern over the government's inadequate response to the plight of the affected families.

The association highlighted that the families of the abducted worshippers continue to suffer uncertainty, with little indication of coordinated efforts by security agencies for their release. The statement noted that the prolonged captivity of the victims has deepened anxiety among residents, raising questions about the government's prioritization of security and welfare.

The association also reported ongoing insecurity in the region, which has displaced 100 communities and forced thousands to live in inadequate conditions without government support. They urged the federal and state governments to intensify efforts for the immediate release of the abducted individuals and to provide humanitarian assistance to displaced persons.
