Odinkalu Challenges Police Denial of Kaduna Church Abductions
Human rights lawyer Prof. Chidi Odinkalu criticized the Kaduna State Police Command for denying reports of worshippers being abducted during a church service in Kajuru. Odinkalu questioned the motives behind the police's denial, accusing them of trying to suppress facts surrounding the incident.
The police dismissed the reports as false, causing panic. Rev. Joseph Hayab, chairman of the North, alleged the attack where worshippers were forced into the bush.
CP Muhammad Rabiu of the Kaduna State Police Command issued a joint statement with local government authorities dismissing the claims as falsehoods. The controversy continues as conflicting narratives emerge.
