Governor Uba Sani has been commended for personally going to Kurmin Wali village to commiserate with the people over the abduction that occurred last Sunday.
Victims that escaped the kidnap recounted their ordeal on Friday, but reaffirmed their confidence in the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, for his visit and providing them with medical attention and psychosocial counselling.
Speaking to newsmen, Mr. Joseph Kurmin Wali recalled that the attackers invaded the community on Sunday morning while residents were gathered for worship.
The escapee further explained that the assailants ordered worshippers to lie face down, before forcing them to a nearby bush, adding that he managed to escape during the ensuing confusion.
Joseph, however, commended Governor Uba Sani for personally visiting Kurmin Wali, a community in Kajuru local government, to sympathise with the victims and assess the situation, describing him as a compassionate and people-centred leader.
He offered prayers for the Governor’s continued leadership and expressed confidence in his commitment to the security and wellbeing of the people of Kaduna State.
Also speaking at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, Mr Bernard Bauna, a resident of Kurmin Wali, described Governor Uba Sani as a compassionate leader, who went to the remote village to get first hand information of what happened and to commiserate with the people.
He recalled that the Governor promised the community a military command, in collaboration with the relevant authorities, a road that will link the community to the highway and a Primary Healthcare Centre.
While praying to God to grant the Governor his heart’s desires, Mr Bauna said that the community will support him to stay in office for ten years, if it were possible to do so.
He also thanked the chairman of Kajuru local government, Mr Dauda Madaki, the member representing Chikun/Kajuru in the House of Representatives, Fidelix Joseph Bagudu and Hon Usman Danlami Stingo, the representative of Kajuru State constituency for their support.
The Chief Medical Director of Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, Prof AbdulKadir Musa Tabari, disclosed that the 11 victims of the attack are in stable condition, adding that they have been distributed to various specialists for further treatment and management.
The CMD promised that the victims will be given maximum care and attention by health workers, adding that ‘’they will leave the hospital smiling.’’
