I am deeply concerned by the recurring kidnappings in Millennium City, particularly around Dan Bushiya. These incidents are unacceptable and demand urgent, decisive action. No resident should live in fear of being abducted in their own home or community. We cannot allow kidnapping to become normalised in Kaduna, especially in the heart of our metropolis.
I call on the Kaduna State Government, the Nigeria Police Force and all relevant security agencies to intensify operations, strengthen intelligence gathering and ensure the immediate rescue of those abducted. The latest being the family of Ahmad Zakka, including himself, his wife and their infant daughter. Shame. There must also be sustained measures to prevent further attacks and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The situation requires urgent attention, not only to secure Dan Bushiya and Millennium City but also to protect neighbouring communities, including Malali and Unguwan Rimi, from further threats. Our people deserve more than expressions of concern; they deserve tangible results.
The security of our people is non-negotiable. We must not surrender our communities to criminals or allow families to live at the mercy of kidnappers. May Allah protect our people and grant the safe return of all those in captivity.

@Armylucifer001 I believe one that age barrier can be bridged, a lot of people will be willing to join. And if the service can get between 15 to 20 good years from them, I think it will be a win-win situation.
@Armylucifer001 What the government should reconsider is that age barrier. There are people that are over 35 years and are still able and ready to serve but because of the age restrictions, they are unable to apply. You'd be surprised the number of middle-aged adults that are able and willing.
@Armylucifer001 The government thinks that only young boys have that agility and are fit for service but that is not the case. So many adults are as agile and able as the young boys.
