Kaduna Kidnappings: When Denial Fails and Leadership Is Missing

The kidnapping of over 150 worshippers in Kaduna reveals denial, weak communication, and absent leadership. When lives are at risk and citizens are hurting, silence is unacceptable.

Since it has now been confirmed that over 150 worshippers were kidnapped from churches in Kaduna, where and how did those who denied the incident initially get their information?

And since those who deny threatened to punish the people said to be spreading falsehood, who now face the punishment?

In any serious country, this would trigger decisive national action, clear communication, and visible leadership. Leadership is not only about grabbing power, but it is also about presence. It is about speaking when citizens are hurting, acting when lives are at risk, and showing clearly that every Nigerian life matters.

We must act now to ensure that all victims are released safely and unharmed, and to continue confronting decisively this persistent crisis of insecurity in our nation. Enough is enough.
