The Nasarawa Assembly is concerned about the high rate of abductions.

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly is concerned about the increase in kidnapping cases that are occurring in the state.


During Monday's plenary session, the House expressed disapproval of the development while simultaneously describing the situation as regrettable.

In response to a motion of public significance put forth by the deputy speaker, Mr. Mohammed Adamu Onyaki (PDP, Doma North), the speaker, Mr. Danladi Jatau, expressed disapproval at the brazenness of armed persons who break into homes, even in the heart of cities, kidnap their occupants, and occasionally vanish from sight.


He claimed that even with the strict penalties outlined in the kidnapping statute, the number of abductions continues to climb.


According to LEADERSHIP, the State's 2020 Kidnapping Act Prohibition Law provided for the confiscation of any property used by kidnappers and the death penalty upon conviction, with the owner facing a maximum 20-year prison sentence.


The speaker urged the severe execution of the kidnapping statute to curb the growing number of abduction cases in the state and to act as a deterrence to potential perpetrators.

In order to come up with a long-term solution to the problems, he also demanded that the state's 13 local government chairs hold a security summit.


Mr. Jatau asked the security authorities to step up information gathering and monitoring in regions identified as hotspots for kidnapping incidents in the state in the interim.


He also asked everyone to come along join forces with the security officers to combat kidnapping and other state-wide criminal activity.


In a resolution, Mr. Oyanki had criticized the recent wave of kidnappings, particularly in his constituency, and he urged the House to act decisively against the threat.


In my constituency, there is worry about the subject of violent abduction and kidnapping, Mr. Speaker and honorable colleagues.


Kidnapping has grown to be a significant issue in my district. People have been kidnapped day and night.


"To save the lives of our people, we must find a solution to the state's ongoing kidnapping problem," he declared.

TRIBUTE TO THE ONE AND ONLY HERO OF GENEROSITY WHO FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, FINISHED HIS COURSE, RECEIVED A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND FINALLY A CONQUEROR.

We sat here in our sitting  room looking at your pictures. wondering why you couldn't be a part of us for life. Uncontrollable tears stream down my face , while my heartbeat starts to race. Asking God why he took you away from us now. it was more painful than stabbing any one in the heart with a knife.  We still needed you here. You were the one to make everything so clear.
