Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Residents of Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, were shocked following a viral video in which a staff of a well-known eatery allegedly admitted to being part of a kidnap syndicate.<\/p>\n

The video, which has spread rapidly across social media platforms, features an employee of Yan Doto Food Palace, a restaurant located near the Zamfara Government House, claiming involvement in abductions that recently rocked the Mareri area.<\/p>\n

The confession has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting swift reactions from civil society groups and youth organisations.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Monday, the Zamfara State Youth Association expressed serious concern over the development.<\/p>\n

The association\u2019s president, Alhaji Ibrahim Abba, described the revelation as \u201cdeeply disturbing,\u201d citing the widespread fear it has generated among residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis revelation has caused serious concern, especially considering the restaurant\u2019s proximity to a critical location like the Government House,\u201d Abba stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany are now questioning how such criminal operations could go unnoticed for so long, right under the nose of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calling for immediate and thorough action, the youth leader urged the nation\u2019s security bodies to take the matter seriously.<\/p>\n

He urged the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate possible hideouts and collaborators aiding criminal gangs in the state.<\/p>\n

Abba also advised residents to be cautious, particularly in public places where suspected criminals may be blending in as everyday patrons or workers.<\/p>\n

As of press time, no official statement has been made by the security agencies.<\/p>\n
