Chairman of the Forum, Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, in a statement, said the recent wave of violence and kidnapping in the north was a major concern to the forum.
“The series of events that have unfolded in Kaduna State, beginning with the kidnapping of 286 students and staff on March 7; the despicable attack on worshippers in a mosque on March 8, and the abduction of 61 more persons on March 12.
“This is followed by 14 persons on March 17, and a staggering total of 87 individuals in Kajuru on March 18, among others,’’ he said.

“We will not rest until the security situation is significantly improved, and the perpetrators of these heinous crimes brought to justice.
“It is our core duty and mandate, and we will spare no effort in fulfilling it for the greater good of our people and our nation,” he said.
