RELIEF DONATIONS WAS AN ACT OF SOLIDARITY, NOT RANSOM PAYMENT- PATIGI LG COUNCIL

The attention of the Patigi Local Government Council has been drawn to a report published by Nupeko TV, quoting a Facebook user, Ishiaku Alhaji Aliyu, criticising the Executive Chairman, Hon. Ahmed Adam Rufai, over the Council’s recent solidarity visit and relief donations to residents of Lata Nna Community.

While the Council respects the right of citizens to express their concerns, it is important to set the record straight and clarify that the administration of Hon. Ahmed Adam Rufai has never regarded the payment of ransom to non-state actors as a solution to insecurity, nor does the Council negotiate with kidnappers or other criminal elements.

As a government, our primary responsibility in the face of insecurity is to mobilise and support security agencies, strengthen security presence and work with relevant stakeholders to protect lives and property. This responsibility is one that the administration has continued to pursue steadfastly.

The recent approval of a Nigeria Army Battalion for Patigi Local Government Area is a significant development in this regard. The Chairman has consistently advocated for stronger security architecture across the LGA and has welcomed the approval as an important step towards restoring lasting peace and security in our communities.

During his visit to Lata Nna on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the Chairman assured residents that he would not relent in his efforts to mobilise security personnel to the affected areas pending the arrival of the newly approved Battalion.

Importantly, while the Chairman was engaging with residents and traditional leaders, the Village Head of Lata Nna testified to the active support being rendered by Army personnel stationed at the Gada checkpoint.

The Chairman also informed the residents that he had appealed to the Army personnel stationed at Ndanaku to periodically mobilise their men to Lata Nna, given the proximity of the two communities, in order to strengthen security coverage and provide additional protection to residents.

The Captain in charge of the Patigi Forward Operating Base (FOB), who was also present during the engagement, further assured the traditional leaders that the personnel operating at the Gada checkpoint and those stationed at Ndanaku operate under his directive. He stated that he had consistently engaged them to provide security support to the Lata Nna community whenever necessary.

These facts are important because they demonstrate that the Council's engagement with the community went far beyond the distribution of relief materials. It was a direct engagement with residents and security stakeholders on the need to strengthen the security architecture around Lata Nna and its neighbouring communities.

The Council therefore finds it misleading to portray the relief donations as an attempt to substitute governance for security or as a contribution towards ransom payment. The items were provided strictly as a gesture of solidarity, humanitarian support and encouragement to a community going through a difficult period.

We understand the pain and anxiety being experienced by families affected by the recent incidents, particularly the family of the abducted resident. Their plight remains a matter of serious concern to the government. However, in addressing such sensitive security situations, government must act responsibly and avoid actions that could further endanger victims or encourage criminal activities.

We therefore appeal to the people of Lata Nna to remain calm, hopeful and supportive of ongoing security efforts. The Patigi Local Government Council will continue to collaborate with the Nigeria Army, and other security agencies, traditional institutions and community stakeholders towards restoring normalcy and ensuring the safety of our people.

The Executive Chairman of Patigi LGA and the Madugu Rayankasa of Lade, Hon. Ahmed Adam Rufai, accompanied by the Councillors representing Lade Wards I, II and III, the Supervisory Councillor for Works, and Hon. Femi Aina, today paid a solidarity visit to Lata Nna and Ndanaku communities over the persistent security challenges affecting the areas.

At the residence of the Village Head of Ndanaku, Hon. Rufai appreciated the traditional ruler and the people of Ndanaku for their continued patience, cooperation and support for the Nigerian Army Forward Operating Base in the community.

Responding, the Village Head of Ndanaku, on behalf of the people of the community, expressed appreciation to the Executive Chairman for his proactive approach and continued support. He assured the Chairman of the community’s continued cooperation and support for the Nigerian Army and other security agencies operating in the area.

While en route to Lata Nna, the Executive Chairman made a stop at the Nigerian Army base in Ndanaku, where he welcomed the newly deployed captain and donated food items as part of his administration’s support for the troops.

At Lata Nna, the Executive Chairman was received at the palace of the Village Head, who, alongside other community representatives, appreciated Hon. Rufai for the visit. The Village Head briefed the Chairman on the persistent threats posed by non-state actors and appealed to the Local Government Council for a more swift and sustained response to the security situation.

Hon. Rufai, while addressing the people, commiserated with the community over the lives lost as a result of the security challenges. He briefed the residents and the Village Head on the various steps being taken by his administration, including ongoing engagements with relevant stakeholders towards finding lasting solutions to the situation.

The Executive Chairman particularly highlighted efforts towards the early deployment of troops in connection with the newly approved Nigerian Army Battalion in Patigi LGA, as well as other security interventions and appeals awaiting deployment.

Hon. Rufai also donated food items to the community and assured the residents of his administration’s continued support and commitment to their safety and wellbeing.

The Executive Chairman further inspected the proposed site for the Nigerian Army base in Lata Nna and visited the Junior Secondary School, Lata Nna, which requires comprehensive renovation.

He assured the community that the concerns raised during the visit would receive his attention and that he would provide feedback on the issues discussed. He also acknowledged and appreciated the people of Lata Nna for their continued support and cooperation with the APC-led government.

Hon. Rufai urged the community to continue to cooperate with security agencies and provide them with useful information once deployed, stressing that collective cooperation remains essential to restoring lasting peace and security in the area.
