The Kaduna State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has strongly condemned the abduction of the wife of Hon. Edward John Auta Pama, describing the act as “barbaric” and demanding her immediate and unconditional release.
In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Hon. Maria Dogo, PDP alleged that the abduction of Hon. Auta’s wife—a prominent party chieftain and outspoken critic of the Senator Uba Sani-led All Progressives Congress, APC administration—was allegedly facilitated by operatives of the Nigerian Police.
The party recalled that Hon. Auta had been invited by the Department of State Services, DSS, on June 5, 2025, following a Facebook post in which he criticised the poor state of road construction in Kaduna State.
“The abduction of Hon. Auta Pama’s wife is a shameful and cowardly act,” the statement read. “We demand her immediate and unconditional release. Should anything untoward happen to her or any member of her family, the Kaduna State Government and its agents of coercion will be held responsible.”
PDP further called on the Inspector General of Police to rein in his personnel and direct them to desist from harassing law-abiding citizens. It urged the police to channel their efforts towards addressing real security challenges rather than acting as instruments of political repression.
“We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will not hesitate to keep the public duly informed,” the statement concluded.
