The Speaker of Kaduna State House of Assembly, Alhaji Yusuf Zailani has expressed worry that bandits and kidnappers are targeting key sectors of the state.
The Speaker expressed this concern in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Ibrahim Danfulani yesterday.
He revealed that in the early hours of yesterday, suspected bandits stormed the Bethel Baptist High School, Kaduna and kidnapped unspecified number of students.
Zailani said: “I am greatly worried by the fact that these recent abductions are targeted at key sectors of our society.
“We woke up this morning (yesterday) to yet depressing news of the abduction of students of the Bethel Baptist High School, Kaduna.
“This is not cheery news coming a day after the abduction at the Leprosy Training Centre, Zaria.”
He, however, said everything was being done to ensure the protection of lives and property of residents of the state.
The Speaker urged those perpetrating the “criminal acts to repent.”
