The disturbing video of Ahmed Zakka, reportedly abducted alongside his wife and infant child in Kaduna State, is a painful reminder of the insecurity that continues to threaten lives and tear families apart across Nigeria.
No Nigerian should have to plead for their life or the safety of their family in the hands of criminals. The thought of an infant caught in this ordeal is especially heartbreaking. I urge the relevant security agencies to act swiftly and decisively to secure the safe release of Ahmed Zakka, his wife, their child and every other Nigerian still held in captivity.
This tragedy comes as families are already struggling with the crushing cost of living. Nigerians are battling the rising cost of food, transport and other essentials; they should not also have to live in fear of being abducted in their homes or on the roads. Insecurity deepens hardship, disrupts livelihoods and leaves families bearing both emotional and financial burdens they can scarcely afford.
The government must move beyond assurances and deliver an effective, sustained response: rescue those in captivity, protect vulnerable communities and dismantle the networks responsible for these crimes. Every Nigerian deserves to live, work and raise a family without the constant fear of violence.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Zakka family and all families enduring the trauma of kidnapping. The protection of every Nigerian life must remain an overriding responsibility of government. —AA
VIDEO: Ahmed Zakka, who was abducted in Millennium City, Kaduna, is appealing for help in a heartbreaking video. He is being held alongside his wife and their baby by bandits.
A whole family in captivity, including an innocent baby😭
We hope the authorities and everyone who can help will do everything possible to secure their safe release.
Oh he sent me an email, I think I’ll respond.
So yes, actually you did do something wrong President Trump, let’s first start with your broken campaign promises.
You protected your pedophile rapists friends instead of women who were raped when they were just teenage girls and you STILL REFUSE to release the Epstein files.
You started an unprovoked war with Iran that the vast majority of Americans do NOT support. You killed hundreds of children at a school in Iran and innocent people and are responsible for 21 U.S. service members deaths and 865 wounded. Your stupid war that you claim you have won like 50 times has destroyed our bases in the Middle East and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of military equipment and weapons, while depleting our weapons and ammunitions.
You are supporting, funding, and aiding genocide in Gaza that has resulted in approximately 22,000 children murdered, thousands of children with amputations, and over 70,000 orphans. And your so called Board of “Peace” has done nothing to stop war and is planning to oversee the very profitable reconstruction and take over of Gaza. One can only guess who all will get those blood money contracts, the Epstein class and associates.
And let’s talk about the basics that every single US president is supposed to guarantee to its citizens. Affordable cost of living and affordable fuel in which you have 100% failed to deliver and actually driven inflation and irresponsibly driven the cost of gasoline and diesel to record high levels.
So did you do something wrong?
Yes in summary, YOU are the snake that you warned us all about in the poem you read over and over.
You never cared about putting America first or making America great again.
You are the deep state, the Epstein class, and America last.
And my mistake was supporting you in the first place.
All this fuss over a video when you don’t even know the actual context of what happened.
We attended the meeting together with him. We were not there to meet Seyi Tinubu, we accompanied him to meet the women’s group, those he was seen greeting and shaking hands with in the video.
Nidal Hasan was born in 1970 in Arlington County, Virginia. His parents migrated from Palestine to America in 1961 due to Israeli oppression against Palestinians. He is the eldest of three sons.
He graduated from high school and then enlisted in the military at the age of 18. He studied college while on post, he went ahead to gain an associate degree in science, a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, with honors, and minors in biology and chemistry, and an M.D. from medical school. He was also commissioned as an officer.
His father passed away in 1998, and his mother passed away in 2001.
Everyone who knew him said that he was gentle, quiet, and a sensitive man. He never harmed a fly in his whole life, never had a criminal record, was a straight A student, highly intelligent, and was exemplary.
But in 2009, the military decided to deploy him to Afghanistan. Knowing the history of American support for the oppression of Palestinians, he could not accept this reality, that too in Afghanistan, the poorest Muslim country on earth, a country which suffered decades of occupation and turmoil, he couldn’t accept being part of the US occupation, he couldn’t accept being part of oppression.
So he did something extreme, a man who never harmed a fly in his life, decided to kill his fellow comrades. The fork on the road drove him to sanity or madness, depending which perspective you look at it from.
He killed and injured dozens of fellow soldiers who were going to be deployed to Afghanistan alongside him. He was shot in the chest, he survived but was paralyzed.
In his trial, he admitted to everything. He said “evidence will show I was on the wrong side of America’s war, and I later switched sides.” He also said “We mujahedeen are imperfect Muslims trying to establish the perfect religion… I apologize for any mistakes I made in this endeavor.”
In court he argued “defense of others”, he said that the war against Afghanistan was unjust, and that the fellow soldiers he killed were going to be deployed to harm others, the people of Afghanistan, and the government of Afghanistan. He could not accept that.
He was sentenced to death on 28 August 2013, and today, the Trump government upheld the death sentence, and ordered that it must be done by a firing squad, and must be public.
All Muslims around the world are afraid to tell his tale, because apparently this man’s life, and this man’s story is too scary to tell, because America hates him. But he was a human being, a very kind, gentle, and a highly intelligent human being that could not tolerate the “war on terror” terror which was being unleashed by the US government around the world.
What he did was an extreme act of violence, but his story needs to be told. What drove the kindest and most harmless man to extreme violence? That too against his own? There is a lesson in that. The secret detention camps, the unimaginable torture, and the massacres unleashed on men, women and children can deeply affect the human conscience, even that of a soldier who is trained to not think.
