On Sunday, Senator Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker, shed light on the activities of terrorists in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Sani, in a post on his X handle, said people in Kajuru now live and survive each day with bandits and terrorists in the night.
He narrated how the Kaduna State Government unjustly arrested the leaders and elders of the Adara ethnic groups and kept them in prison after terrorists killed their people.
Sani said the incident happened some five years ago.
Painting a gory image of the activities of terrorists in the area, the former senator recounted how over 50 farmers were kidnapped.
According to him, the Emir of Kajuru was also kidnapped and released after ransom was paid three years ago.
Sani, in the post, pointed out that the paramount ruler of the Adara ethnic group, Agom Adara Maiwada Galadima, was coincidentally killed after meeting with an unnamed State Governor.
He wrote, “Kajuru LG is one of the ‘favourite hotspots’ for terrorists in Kaduna State.
“Few months ago, over 50 farmers were kidnapped. Three years ago, the Emir of Kajuru was kidnapped and released after ransom was paid. It’s also the LG that hosts the Bethel Baptist High School, where students were kidnapped in 2021.
“In 2018, the paramount ruler of the Adara ethnic group, Agom Adara Maiwada Galadima was killed after meeting with the state Governor. Some 5 years ago, the Kaduna state government unjustly arrested the leaders and elders of the Adara ethnic groups and kept them in prison after their people were killed by terrorists.The latest one now has 42 kidnapped. In Kajuru, they live and survive each day with Bandits in the day and terrorists in the night.”
