Security agencies probe community leaders’ disappearance in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, has said the military and the police are investigating the circumstances leading to the disappearance of community leaders in the Atyap Chiefdom of Zango-Kataf Local Government Area of the state.

According to the commissioner, the community leaders went missing after a dispute resolution meeting on Sunday.

Aruwan explained that during the meeting, financial compensation was made for the destruction of crops by cattle under the watch of a herder, as reported to the state government by security agencies.

He gave the names of three community leaders that are still missing as Ardo Pate Usman Kurmi (Wakilin Fulanin Atyap Chiefdom), Ardo Muhammadu Anchau, and Yakubu Muhammadu.

The Commissioner said, “according to the feedback, the Secretary to the District Head of Gora, Ayuba Bungon, and others who attended the successful meeting, went missing while traveling in his vehicle. The car was later found vandalised and empty.

“Troops on search-and-rescue missions later that night found the Secretary, and handed him over safely to the Police. Some arms and ammunition were also recovered in the general area in the course of search and rescue.

“Moreover, two other leaders who went missing were reported to have escaped from their captors on Monday and were also found by troops conducting search operations. They were identified as Yusuf Dauda and Gomna Audu.

“The two, according to the military, were confirmed to be in a good state of health and handed over to the Police.

“Governor Nasir El-Rufai noted the feedback with gratitude and urged the troops to sustain the pace of operations.

“The Governor also made an appeal to the Atyap Chiefdom, as well as families and relations of the missing leaders to remain calm, as security agencies continue with investigations and search-and-rescue operations.”
