PDP Candidate Bawa Calls for Enhanced Security in Kaduna

Hon. Usman Shehu Bawa, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kaduna State, has called on the state government to intensify security measures after four individuals were abducted in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area. In a statement from his spokesperson, Yusuf Idris, Bawa urged authorities to ensure the swift and safe rescue of the victims taken from Rahusa Estate, as well as others kidnapped in a prior incident in Babban Saura PW.

The abduction occurred around 11pm on October 6. Bawa expressed concern over the increasing fear among residents, emphasizing their right to safety and freedom of movement.

He commended security personnel for their efforts but insisted that more decisive actions are necessary. Bawa proposed increasing security presence in vulnerable communities, collaborating with estate associations for improved safety measures, and providing support to vigilante groups like the Kaduna Vigilance Service (KADVIS).

He stressed that effective security requires sustained action, not just statements, and expressed sympathy for the families affected by the recent attacks.
