365Daily – The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has condemned the abduction of workers and patients from a hospital in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State by bandits.
The Primary Healthcare Centre at Layin Dan Auta village in Kuyello Ward, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was attacked by the bandits after which they abducted two nurses and several patients whose number is yet to be ascertained.
The Speaker charged security agencies to rescue all who were kidnapped from the hospital and others in captivity across the country.
He expressed deep worry that bandits and kidnappers are becoming too daring in their nefarious activities, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Kirshi, on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
He said “The activities of bandits have become too rampant, especially with the last attack on vulnerable targets like a hospital.
“Our security forces need to, as a matter of emergency, go after the abductors and rescue those abducted from the health facility. They must ensure that no Nigerian kidnapped in any part of the country remains in captivity.”
Speaker Abbas also called for sustained efforts to rid every part of Nigeria of the menace of kidnapping, banditry and terrorism.
