Police Reverses Stance, Validates Mass Kidnapping of Kaduna Worshippers
Kaduna police have acknowledged the abduction of scores of worshippers from three churches in Kajuru LGA, reversing an earlier denial as rescue operations intensify.
Further reporting across multiple outlets indicates the development is drawing heightened attention, with stakeholders watching for next steps from relevant authorities and institutions.
Echotitbits take: This reversal highlights a dangerous gap between local intelligence and official police communication. The delayed admission of the crisis likely hindered immediate rescue operations; expect increased pressure on Governor Uba Sani to overhaul the state’s early-warning security systems.
