Kaduna: Adara community cries out as militia kill two, abduct 17 others
Adara youths, under the auspices of Adara Youth Congress (AYC) in Kaduna State have cried out against being “slaughtered mercilessly” by Fulani terrorists every day.
According to them, not a single Adara community has been spared from the bloodshed and horror that the terrorists have unleashed upon their nation.
A statement issued by Alhaji Ishaya Onnusim, Public Relations Officer of AYC said, “It is with a heavy heart that I, on behalf of the Adara Youth Congress (AYC), cry out in pain and despair for our beloved Adara people, who are being slaughtered mercilessly by Fulani terrorists every single day.
“Not a single Adara community has been spared from the bloodshed and horror that these terrorists have unleashed upon our nation.”
He stated that on Friday, the terror continued unabated in Gefe community, under Kallah District in Kajuru LGA, Kaduna State, saying that the Village Chief, Mr. Emmanuel Dangaladima (Agom Ana-Gefe), was brutally shot dead.
He lamented that his leadership and wisdom that guided their people had been stolen from them, leaving a void that can never be filled.
“The violence did not end there. Mr. Eze Paska, a young Igbo man who had settled in our community with his family, seeking peace and prosperity, was also killed in cold blood.
“His life was tragically cut short simply because he chose to live among us. In a further act of cruelty, his beloved wife was abducted by these heartless killers.
“Sixteen (16) other innocent and defenseless Adara people were also abducted, taken to an unknown location by these terrorists.

“Their families are left in unimaginable pain and uncertainty, not knowing if they will ever see their loved ones again,” the statement explained.
The statement added that the Barga community in Awon Ward, Kachia LGA, Kaduna, was invaded on Thursday night, with many residents, including the village chief (Agom Barga), kidnapped, while so many houses were demolished, and properties worth millions of naira looted.
The statement lamented, “The Adara nation is under siege. Our communities are being torn apart, our people are being massacred, and our hearts are breaking.
“This relentless horror cannot continue. We need prayers, we need God’s intervention, for only He can save us from the terror that has engulfed our land.”
The Adara Youth Congress called on the government, security agencies, and all well-meaning Nigerians to stand with them in this time of grief and terror, demanding immediate and decisive action to protect their communities and bring the perpetrators to justice.
