The Kaduna State branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed strong disapproval of the recent abduction of more than 200 primary school pupils in Kuriga village, Chikun Local Government.
Abraham Catoh, the PDP state publicity secretary, conveyed this condemnation in a statement released on Sunday in Kaduna.
Catoh quoted the state party chairman, Felix Hassan-Hyat, who called on the military and other security agencies to confront the criminals directly, aiming to swiftly address the escalating insecurity and criminal activities both within and beyond the state.
“The PDP fully supports the State Governor’s resolve to return all the pupils unscathed to their families, as soon and possible.
“We also call on the governor to leave no stone unturned in his efforts towards the recovery of these children and stopping the criminal activities of these terrorists and protecting the lives and property of the citizens.
“PDP sympathises with the immediate families of the kidnapped victims and their relatives,” he said.
