Sunday, January 25, 2026 - Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has maintained that his administration remains resolute in the face of insecurity confronting the state.
Speaking during an interview on BBC pidgin, the governor
said his administration will never pay ransom to any bandits.
He was reacting to the abduction of over 100 worshippers in
three different churches last Sunday by gunmen suspected to be bandits.
He said that he had spent many years as a civil right
activist and someone who believes in justice and freedom.
“The policy of this government in Kaduna State is that we
don’t pay ransom; I don’t even believe in ransom at all.
“I fought for justice to the extent that I was detained.
When the incident happened, the first thing I did was rushing to sit down with
the necessary security agencies. I rushed to Abuja first to sit down with the
National Security Adviser and the Minister of Defense.
“When people were busy talking on social media, my concern
is, how do I rescue these victims? I can assure you, by the grace of God, our
people will be released. Before I went there, I’ve already instructed the
Commissioner for Health.
“I assure you that government will handle everything that
has to do with their welfare, including handling their medical bills and
ensuring that they have the best medical attention. Not only that, we also have
to ensure that they go through psychosocial treatment,” the governor said.
