In a statement yesterday by his media office, Olawepo-Hashim warned that, “Terrorism and mass kidnappings cannot be defeated amid official denials, suppression of facts, and intimidation of affected communities.”
He had reacted to the January 18 abduction of 166 worshippers in an attack on three churches in Kurmin Wali community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The Kaduna State police commissioner Muhammad Rabiu, the council chairman of Kajuru LGA, Dauda Madaki and the Kaduna state commissioner for internal security and home affairs, Sule Shu’aibu, SAN, had earlier denied that the incident did not occur before the force headquarters of the Nigerian Police confirmed it.
