Southern Kaduna Worshippers: 5-months in Captivity
Amnesty International is deeply concerned that the 37 people abducted in raids on churches during Easter Sunday worship on 5 April 2026 are still in captivity. The incident which happened in Ariko community of Kachia LGA southern Kaduna state is just one of many instances demonstrating the utter failure of Nigerian authorities to protect the people.
Three of the 11 people abducted from Awon community have died in captivity this week. A woman Joy Samuel died on 28 August, after giving birth in a deplorable condition. The baby she delivered also died. Mr. Yusuf Bawa 34, and his 5-year-old son have also died as a result of severe illness and hunger. Deaths and severe illness these people are facing in captivity show the atrocities they are being subjected to.
While in captivity, the abducted persons are always repeatedly threatened to be killed, starved, women and girls raped, beaten and dehumanized in so many ways.
Recurring attacks, abductions for ransom, and killings are continuing to make life a hell in many parts of southern Kaduna. A climate of fear is affecting agricultural activities, education and other aspects of social lives of the people.
The Nigerian government must deliver on its national and international human rights obligations by immediately redoubling efforts to ensure the safe release and return of not only the 37 worshippers abducted in Kachia LGA, but also all people held captive by gunmen across Nigeria.
Every new month is a reminder that the future of Nigeria is in our hands.
As young Nigerians, we cannot afford to be silent. We cannot afford to be disengaged.
The decisions being made today will shape the country we live in tomorrow.
Keep demanding better!

Corpers have been kidnapped for ₦20 million ransom, yet the President is going to Europe on vacation. This is beyond politics. Human lives are at stake, and they are using us as pawns for their political games. Nigerians deserve better. You better vote wisely next year .
Good morning @GovBorno
It has been 108 days since 40+ children were abducted from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School in Askira-Uba, Borno State.
I am tweeting this to remind you, in case the passage of time has made it easier to forget: we have not forgotten them.
Mr. President, 107 days since children were taken from Mussa, Askira-Uba, Borno State.
107 days of fear, tears, and waiting.
Mommy 1yr 7mo. Hezekiah 5yrs. Haruna 3yrs. Adams 4yrs. Musa 6yrs. Grace 4yrs. Rejoice 3yrs. Halita 2yrs. Joy 6yrs. Hanatu 3yrs. Japari 2yrs. Emma 7yrs. Alheri 6yrs. Baby Saratu 3yrs.
Their parents are still waiting.
Mr. President, 107 days is too long.
Don't let this become 108.
These are not numbers. They are Nigerian children.
BRING OUR CHILDREN HOME.

Your vote is your voice.
Protect it!

Day 101. 101 days of Borno schoolchildren being held by terrorists, while the country moves on as if their lives do not matter. This is beyond shameful.
