Northern Emancipation Network (NEN) has lamented that despite the successes claimed by government, rampant attacks on rural communities in Kaduna State persist and people are still being kidnapped at will on a daily basis.
The group made the revelation through its publicity secretary, Lawal Hamisu, and regretted that while communities in Giwa local government area in the northern part of the state live under perpetual threats, the attacks and daily kidnappings are largely unreported and unchecked.
It alleged that troops concentrate efforts on urban areas and towns and major highways leaving helpless rural communities vulnerable.
“We can cite many instances of attacks on communities in Giwa with mass abductions that are regrettably unreported.
“Even as recently Tuesday, November 1, 2022, bandits attacked and kidnapped 18 locals at Kaza village of Fatika in Giwa LGA with alarming ease.”
