Kaduna Residents Relieved After Zakka Family's Rescue

Residents of Millennium City and surrounding areas in Kaduna metropolis have expressed relief following the rescue of Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife, and their six-month-old daughter, who were kidnapped. The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS) have intensified security efforts to combat house-to-house abductions through coordinated patrols and intelligence gathering.

The presence of armed vigilantes has encouraged families who fled due to previous kidnappings to return. A credible NSCDC source indicated that the Millennium City outpost is collaborating with other security agencies to address security challenges.

Zailani AJ Musa of KADVS stated that the service is enhancing its operational capacity with support from the state government, which has provided arms, vehicles, and training for personnel. Musa emphasized the importance of community cooperation in sharing intelligence to improve security and ensure prompt responses to threats.
