Speaking during his visit to the rescued kidnapped couple, Malam Ahmed Abubakar Zakka and his family after their discharge from the hospital, he further promised to provide them with a home.
He wrote on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday: “Today, I visited Malam Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife, Nafisah, and their daughter, Fatima, at the Kaduna State Government safe house, where they continue to receive medical care following their discharge from hospital after regaining their freedom. I was encouraged by their progress and remain hopeful of their full recovery, supported by our commitment to ensuring they receive the care they need.
“I conveyed our solidarity and assured the family that our support would extend beyond this visit. The Kaduna State Government will provide them with a home, meet all medical expenses and ensure sustained psychosocial care to help them recover, rebuild their lives and regain a sense of security.
“Their freedom strengthens our resolve to confront banditry and other criminality through closer cooperation with security agencies, stronger security coordination and deeper engagement with communities. Every resident deserves to live without fear, and we will continue working to fulfil that obligation.”
