The association\u2019s National Public Relations Officer, Comrade Caleb Magaji, confirmed the deaths, saying the victims were kidnapped while carrying out their daily activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis tragic incident is not isolated,\u201d Magaji stated. \u201cOur land, alongside other communities in Kumana and Kauru Local Government, continues to suffer from recurring attacks. Many of our people remain in captivity in the forest, even after huge sums have been paid as ransom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The association called on the government and security agencies to intensify efforts to restore peace in the area and ensure the release of those still in captivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on the government and security agencies at all levels to bring the perpetrators to justice and secure the release of those still held captive,\u201d Magaji added.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging the government\u2019s recent efforts, including the establishment of a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Kauru Local Government, Magaji urged authorities to set up military checkpoints in Kusheka, Kabene, and Geshere communities to enhance security and facilitate quicker responses to attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe frequent attacks on many communities, especially in Kumana, are deeply concerning and require stronger commitment from the government at all levels,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
