Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has finally opened up on the Southern Kaduna crisis.
He said; “The crisis has lingered since the first Kasuwan Magani riot in Kajuru local government area in 1980. My administration has been making efforts to end the killings and restore peace.”
“A military base and mobile police depot have been established in the area while the air force and strike force personnel had been deployed in the zone.”
“Equipment like drones and GSM trackers are being used to neutralise bandits in the state.”
“Kaduna is a mini-Nigeria with over 52 ethnic groups, meaning that 10 percent of Nigeria’s ethnic groups are from Kaduna state.”
“The danger of it is that, crimes committed by criminals for their own selfish motives are given ethno-religious interpretations.”
