Bandits abduct councillor in Kaduna

Bandits have kidnapped Hon. David Ali Gwantu, a serving councillor representing Gwantu Ward in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

He was seized from his residence in Gwantu town shortly after midnight on Friday, in the presence of his family members.

The abduction occurred just days after seven victims, mostly children, were buried in Unguwan Rimi, Kauru LGA, following a deadly attack in Southern Kaduna.

Despite the state government’s ongoing “Kaduna Model” peace pact with bandit leaders, communities in the region remain under siege. Governor Uba Sani has defended the initiative as a “carrot-and-stick” approach, though critics argue it lacks transparency and fails to secure justice for victims.
