The Acting District Head of Kamuru-Ikulu in Zango-Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Mr. Nicholas Afel, has decried the rising rate of kidnapping in the area.
Afel spoke on Thursday at the sidelines of a two-day free medical outreach organised by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) in the community.
The district head, who said the increasing rate of kidnapping has become worrisome, decried the lack of a police station in the area.
According to him, the few military personnel posted to the community due to the recent security challenges that greeted it were grossly inadequate.
