By Hajara Muhammad Sambo.
The Chairman of Borgu Local Government Area in Niger State, Honourable Abdullahi Mohammed Nasir, has raised an urgent alarm following the abduction of worshippers in the Dekara community, demanding immediate intervention from security authorities to secure their release.
Speaking during an interview with Nexter 97.7 FM, the local government chief made a direct appeal to the Federal Government and relevant security agencies to intensify rescue operations and restore safety to affected residents.
Nasir highlighted the growing threat posed by the vast forest areas surrounding Borgu, noting that criminal elements are exploiting the dense terrain as hideouts to launch attacks and conduct kidnappings.
To tackle the escalating insecurity, the chairman urged security forces to bolster their presence across vulnerable communities, particularly those bordering the forest zones.
”Securing the immediate release of the abductees must be treated as a matter of top priority,” Nasir emphasized, while calling for long-term strategic security measures to prevent recurring attacks.
He further reassured the people of Borgu that the local government administration remains committed to collaborating with security agencies, traditional leaders, and key stakeholders to safeguard lives and property across the region.
