Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has visited the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital to sympathise with Mrs. Sarah Achi and her daughter, who were recently rescued from captivity, following the tragic killing of her husband, the late Venerable Edwin Achi.
The Governor was accompanied by the Anglican Archbishop of Kaduna Province, Most Revd. Timothy Yahaya, during the emotional visit. He described the moment as one of deep sorrow and reflection, as he personally conveyed the condolences of the Kaduna State Government to the grieving family.
Governor Uba Sani assured Mrs. Achi of the government’s unwavering support, announcing a comprehensive welfare package for the family. This includes the provision of a new home, full sponsorship of the children’s education, settlement of all medical bills, and continuous psychosocial support to help them heal and reintegrate into society.
He said the intervention shows the government’s strong commitment to standing with victims of banditry and ensuring that compassion, justice and human dignity remain at the heart of governance in Kaduna State.
The Governor also commended the security agencies for their professionalism, courage and effective collaboration, which led to the successful rescue of the victims. He noted that their sacrifice and dedication continue to strengthen public confidence in the state’s security system.
Before leaving the hospital, Governor Uba Sani visited other patients, offered words of encouragement, and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery and strengthening security across Kaduna State.
