“This senseless act of violence has further deepened the atmosphere of insecurity and fear among the residents of Bauda and its surrounding communities,” Maikori wrote in a letter to the traditional ruler.
Moreover, the abduction has rattled the leadership structure in Bauda and heightened concerns about the deteriorating security situation in the region.
