37 Kidnap Victims Freed in Katsina Peace Deal
In a significant breakthrough, 37 kidnap victims have regained their freedom in Katsina State, Nigeria, following a successful peace agreement between community leaders and armed bandits. The freed individuals, comprising 17 women, 2 children, and 18 men, were handed over to a delegation led by Hon. Ibrahim Kandarawa, a member of the Katsina State House of Assembly, and the Chairman of Bakori Local Government Area.
The peace deal was facilitated by Alhaji Isya Kwashen Garwa, a prominent Fulani leader, who played a crucial role in the negotiation process. The victims, who had been held captive for days, were released unharmed.
Hon. Kandarawa praised all parties involved in the agreement and assured residents that efforts would continue to strengthen peace and security in Bakori and surrounding communities. Community members have expressed relief over the development and are calling for lasting measures to end recurrent kidnappings and banditry in the region.
