Soldiers Are Preventing Access To A Kaduna Community- Christian Solidarity Worldwide-Nigeria (CSW-N)

Christian Solidarity Worldwide-Nigeria (CSW-N) has maintained that suspected bandits abducted over 100 worshippers in the Kurmin Wali community of Kajuru LGA, Kaduna State, despite vehement denials from police and local authorities.




The rights group reports that assailants—arriving on motorcycles and on foot—simultaneously targeted three churches during Sunday services, forcing congregants into the surrounding bush. Conversely, the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Rabiu, and the Kajuru LGA Chairman, Dauda Madaki, have dismissed the reports as "falsehoods" propagated by "conflict entrepreneurs." During a press conference, the officials challenged the accusers to provide victim details, stating that an on-site security assessment led by the chairman revealed no evidence of violence or disruption.

In a counter-rebuttal, CSW-N accused security operatives of actively obstructing independent verification efforts. The organization alleged that its fact-finding team was intercepted and denied entry to the community by a military convoy—which included the LGA Chairman—citing a standing order against their presence. Despite the access restrictions, the group asserts that approximately 167 individuals remain in captivity, noting that while 11 persons escaped and some elderly women and children were released, the failure of the state and federal governments to protect these rural communities remains deeply troubling.
