The children rescued in Kaduna have been handed over to Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna state by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.
Governor Uba Sani announced the release of the children said, “The 4 children kidnapped in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State have been released and handed over to me by Mal. Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser. I have reunited the children with their parents.
“The release of the children is one of the key outcomes of the peace agreement brokered by the Peace Dialogue Group established by the Kaduna State Government in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser”.

“We were conscious of the fact that trust deficit is at the root of several failed peace efforts. We were determined to break the jinx despite sustained efforts by conflict entrepreneurs to sabotage the process. And we did.
“Our success in Birnin Gwari is already having trickle effects. The release of the Millennium City, Chikun LG children is a testament to the fact that the Kaduna Peace Model is up and running.”
“It is our hope that this model will be replicated in North Western States, and by extension the entire North.”..CONTINUE READING>>>
