Southern Kaduna Killings: El-Rufai finally speaks on cause of killings

Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-rufai has finally broken his silence on the series of killings in southern Kaduna.

During an address at a security meeting held at the Council Chambers of Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, El-rufai revealed that the current crisis in Southern Kaduna, is “the tragic aftermath of events of June 5, when youths from two communities clashed over farmlands in Zangon-Kataf and the upsurge of violence in the same area that started on June 11.”

According to him, the violence has spread to and has necessitated extraordinary measures in four local government areas in southern Kaduna as the government is doing everything within its constitutional powers to bring peace to Southern Kaduna and all parts of the state.
“We answered the decade old demand for a permanent military base by working with the Federal Government to deploy a forward operating base of the Nigerian Army in Kafanchan.
“Our government purchased an estate to provide accommodation for a permanent mobile police squadron in the area. Also deployed in the area are troops from Operation Safe Haven and Nigerian Army Special Forces, complemented by two mobile police squadrons,” El-Rufai said

  1. You are the chief security of the the state and you should stand up to your duties, the issue of security shouldn’t be handled with levity hand. There is a lot of things to do i.e boost the moral of the security personnel, eradicate poverty, if there’s any issues call their leaders etc. Killings of beloved one is pathetic. You are the one to account for the any lives lost.
