Tuesday, December 2, 2025 - Gunmen have abducted fifteen farmers from Ungwan Nungu community in Bokana Ward of Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident occurred on Saturday, November 29, 2025, while
the victims were returning home from their farms.
The member representing Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency in
the House of Representatives, Daniel Amos, who confirmed the incident in a
statement on Tuesday, December 2, described the attack as “cruel, senseless and
deeply regrettable.”
Amos said the incident underscores the worsening insecurity
rural communities continue to face.
The lawmaker urged residents of Ungwan Nungu and
neighbouring communities to remain calm and avoid actions that could escalate
the situation.
He appealed for vigilance and cooperation with security
agencies.
Amos also called for a coordinated security response to
ensure the safe return of the kidnapped victims.
“It is with deep regret and great concern that I address the
unfortunate kidnap of fifteen (15) members of Ungwan Nungu community of Bokana
Ward of my constituency, who were abducted on Saturday 29th, November 2025,
while returning home from the farm,” the statement read.
"This heartbreaking incident is another painful
reminder of the insecurity that innocent citizens continue to face in their
daily struggle for survival. I strongly condemn this cruel and senseless
act.
"Targeting peaceful, hardworking community members is
unacceptable and must not be tolerated under any circumstance. Our people
deserve to live without fear, and those who threaten our collective peace must
be confronted with the full weight of the law.
"As we navigate this difficult moment, I appeal to
residents of Ungwan Nungu, Bokana Ward, and surrounding communities to remain
calm, vigilant, and law-abiding. Panic or retaliatory actions will only worsen
the situation. What we need now is unity, patience, and cooperation with the
authorities.
"I call on the security agencies to leave no stone
unturned in the search for the kidnapped victims and to ensure the prompt
arrest and prosecution of those responsible for this heinous crime.
"We expect intensified surveillance,
intelligence-driven operations, and a swift, coordinated response that
reassures our people of their safety. To the families and loved ones of the
abducted persons, I stand with you in this difficult time. Your pain is felt by
all of us, and we will continue to push for every necessary action until all
the victims are safely reunited with their families.
“The safety and wellbeing of our people remain paramount.
Collectively, with determination and resilience, we will overcome this dark
moment and restore peace to our communities.”
