The Northern Senators Forum has condemned the recent deadly attack and kidnapping in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State, describing it as a heinous crime that must not go unpunished.

The Forum expressed deep condolences to the people of Kaura Namoda, especially the families of the victims, following the killing of at least 35 innocent civilians, despite the payment of ransom. 

The incident, it noted, is a grim reminder of the persistent security challenges facing the nation.

In a statement signed by the Chairman of the Forum, Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua, the senators said the barbaric act does not represent the values, people, or aspirations of the Northern region. 

They emphasized that the North is known for its hospitality, peace, and cultural harmony, which such acts of violence seek to destroy.
