Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen has strongly condemned the recent attack on a hospital in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State.
The attack, which occurred on Monday, resulted in the abduction of two nurses and several patients from the Primary Healthcare Centre at Layin Dan Auta village.
Speaker Abbas expressed deep concern over the increasing daringness of bandits and kidnappers in their nefarious activities.
He charged security agencies with the urgent task of rescuing those kidnapped from the hospital and others in captivity across the country.
The Speaker emphasized the need for security forces to take immediate action to ensure that no Nigerian remains in captivity.
He also called for sustained efforts to rid every part of Nigeria of the menace of kidnapping, banditry, and terrorism.
The attack on the hospital is a worrying sign of the growing boldness of bandits and kidnappers, and the Speaker’s condemnation reflects the growing concern over the security situation in the country.
The Speaker’s call for urgent action to rescue the abducted individuals and to address the broader security challenges facing the country is a clear indication of the need for decisive action to protect Nigerian citizens.
