The senator representing Kaduna South senatorial zone, Sunday Katung, has raised the alarm over renewed attacks, killings and kidnappings in some communities in the senatorial district.

In a statement in Kaduna, Katung expressed deep concern over the resurgence of bandits in Southern Kaduna.

He said the heinous activities of the criminals had brought immense pains, untold hardship and despair among the people.

“I am deeply worried by the renewed attacks, killings and kidnappings in some of our communities across Kaduna South Senatorial District by terrorists.

“This heinous criminality against our innocent people, especially in communities of Kauru, Kachia, Zangon Kataf, Kaura and Sanga Local Government Areas in Kaduna State has brought immense pains, untold hardship and shaken the well-being of our people.

“Only recently, these bandits reportedly abducted 22 locals, mostly Women and Children in separate attacks in the Kugauta community of Kusheka, Kumana Chiefdom, and Kitanda community of Geshere, Kumana Chiefdom in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna state.”

Katung condemned the attacks, stressing that it was an affront on the peace loving people of Southern Kaduna.
