The government of Bauchi State claims to have freed 69 hostages from kidnapper dens located around the state’s various local government areas.
The accomplishment was made possible, according to Abdulrazaq Nuhu Zaki, commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs, by the combined efforts of security forces and vigilantes who assaulted bandit hideouts in several state woods.
Most of those saved, according to Zaki, were strangers from other states, and he said that they were now free to return to their respective homes and families.
According to him, “Burki State Government is making headway in the fight, as no less than 69 abductees have been saved from dens of kidnappers across the state, few weeks after the governor went around to assess the activities of kidnappers and other criminal elements ravaging the state necessitated a directive to go after them.”
Toro, Alkaleri, Tafawa Balewa, and Ningi are a few of the penetrated forests in the many LGAs that Zaki cited.
He claims that when the state governor, Sen. Bala Mohammed, visited the afflicted districts and commiserated with the locals while also urging them to fend off the kidnappers, he turned the tables on the criminals.
The governor raised the morale of the council chairmen, vigilantes, traditional leaders, security officers, and all other participants in the state’s struggle against insecurity.
