Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Some kidnapped victims hav escaped from their abductors in Ukum Local Goverment Area of Benue State in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The victims who managed to escape from the den of their abductors where received on Thursday by the Chairman of Ukum Local Government, Jonathan Modi in Zaki Biam.<\/p>\n

The victims who are indigenes of Ukum revealed that they were kidnapped on December 27th and endured severe hardships, including days without food.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement by the Special Assistant on Media & Communications to the Chairman, Samuel Atsua.<\/p>\n

Atsua noted that Modi expressed deep concern for the well-being of the victims.<\/p>\n

He said the victims have been transfered to a hospital for urgent medical care, emphasizing that their fragile health conditions required professional attention.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Chairman urged the people of Ukum to embrace peace, aligning with the initiatives of Governor Hyacinth Alia and Bishop of Katsina -Ala Diocese,Most Rev. Fr. Isaac Dugu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is deeply condemnable that, despite ongoing peace efforts, some individuals continue to inflict pain on their own people\u2014mothers, fathers, and brothers.\u201dHe said.<\/p>\n

Modi warned perpetrators to desist from these acts, reminding them that both the law and divine justice would catch up with those who insist on perpetuating violence.<\/p>\n
