The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), gubernatorial candidate in Kaduna State, Hon. Usman Shehu Bawa, ABG, has condemned the fresh attack and abduction of four persons in Millennium City, Kaduna, describing it as one attack too many.
In a press statement issued on 7th October, 2026, through his spokesperson, Yusuf Idris, Bawa said his office received with deep sadness and concern the report of the attack on Rahusa Estate in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area.
According to the statement, the incident occurred around 11pm on Monday, 6th October, 2026, when kidnappers raided the estate and abducted four persons.
The PDP candidate noted that the attack is coming barely one week after a similar invasion in Babban Saura PW community, where one person was killed and several others abducted and are still in captivity.
He lamented that residents of Millennium City and indeed the entire state continue to live in perpetual fear and a sense of abandonment.
“They sleep with one eye open. They cannot go to their farms, they cannot travel freely, they cannot even sleep in peace in their homes,” he said.
While commending gallant security personnel who continue to risk their lives confronting kidnappers and other criminal elements, Bawa stressed that commendation alone is not enough and called on the state government to show leadership beyond paper claims.
“The State Government must move beyond claims of securing the state on paper and show leadership on the ground. The primary responsibility of any government is the security and welfare of its people,” he stated.
Bawa therefore urged the Kaduna State Government to immediately deploy more security presence to Millennium City and other vulnerable communities in Chikun and environs, work with estate associations to provide street lights, patrol vehicles and emergency communication lines, and ensure the swift and safe rescue of all abducted victims from Rahusa Estate and Babban Saura PW.
He also called for the facilitation of security outfits in all soft target communities and engagement and adequate equipping of vigilante groups like KADVIS.
“Kaduna cannot be secure by press statements. It will be secure by deliberate, inclusive and sustained action. Under our PEOPLE AGENDA administration, In Shaa Allah, we will make community security the foundation of governance; where every citizen is part of the security architecture,” he said.
“This is one attack too many. Our people deserve better. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the abducted and the bereaved,” the statement concluded.
