The Senator, who expressed delight over the warm reception accorded him by the leaders in all the areas he visited, also hailed the efforts of the Kaduna State Government for sustaining the tempo of its battle against banditry, kidnapping and allied crimes.
He also stated that it was heartwarming that the leaders of the area “committed themselves to more vigorous community vigilance to support the efforts of the government in curbing banditry, kidnapping and other forms of criminal activities in their communities”.
