The Kaduna State Government has declared a 24-hour curfew in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, following bloody fighting between ethnic indigene groups in Southern Kaduna and settler elements of Hausa-Fulani dwelling in the area. In a telephone interview with our New York office, a security source told SaharaReporters that at least five persons were killed in the fighting.  
The bloody clash was also confirmed by an elderly Yoruba resident of Kafanchan, an otherwise quiescent town that used to be known as a railway hub. The man said the assaults flared up again yesterday, after armed soldiers had earlier quelled a skirmish last Sunday.
The security operative disclosed that indigenes of Southern Kaduna and Hausa-Fulani youths engaged in a free-for-all fight using machetes, spears and a few guns. Apart from the dead, many people also sustained varying degrees of injury. 

The source said, “I can confirm to you that attacks started yesterday between the indigenes and settlers. And several people were killed before [the] government declared 24 hours curfew today. As we speak, we are in the streets patrolling and all residents are now indoors.”
T
he security agent said yesterday’s attack appeared to be reprisals for the death of a young man who was killed last Sunday. 
SaharaReporters could not reach the Kaduna State Police Commissioner, Mr. Olufemi Adenaike. However, a police officer in Kaduna said the commissioner and military authorities in Kaduna had deployed troops to the trouble spots to strengthen security and contain any threats that might escalate attacks.

How

The casualty figure of the dead is certainly an understatement . These clashes are likely to happen again and again as long as you have large numbers of jobless youth lounging about doing nothing and political leaders are only interested in misappropriating public funds.

142 corpses recovered after Boko Haram highway massacre
I'm sure you guys have been reading about all the killings perpetuated by Boko Haram in the past few days in the Northern part of the country. They are going to homes, highways and just killing people. Just yesterday 142 bodies were discovered and evacuated from the highway and surrounding bushes in Borno state by officials of the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency (BOSEPA) after travelers were ambushed, removed from their cars and killed on the Maiduguri/Damaturu highway on Tuesday Sept 17th by Boko Haram members who dressed up as soldiers and set up checkpoints.

dheaven: Nigeria should disintegrate for peace to rain

How well are you prepared for that?

There is a clear difference between a Hausa man and a Fulani man.

Ok I'm nat gonna say it










I'm still not gonna say it









Or should I?











END TIME THINGZZ

Sometimes the rate of intolerance in this country is spectacular.but I don't blame them the incompetence of our security agencies makes people thing is much more easier to take laws into there hands n practice jungle justice than go through legal channels.the u.s has described Nigeria as a failing state when citizens loose confidence in there govt this kind of issues hold sway.obviously Nigeria is to vast n complex for gej to manage we can put up with him from now till 2015 but he should pls do nigerians a favor n not seek reelection....

when will peace reign! Neighbours fighting each other

Why does everyone dislike the Hausa/Fulani?

Southern presidency is really liberating all Nigerians especially minorities in the north who have been under the feet of the Hausa Fulani for so long.

GEJ should continue till 2019 so that all Nigerians will be truly equal.

It is cristal clare that Nigerians has lost total confidence in Govt. Therefore, it will be best if the country disintigrate; may be this might be the solution for the wellbeing of the masses.

Ur report states southern kaduna like its d whole southern kaduna.... Stop creating unnecesary panick abeg!!!

Earlier today boko harams hideout in apo legislative quaters abuja was discovered which followed with a gun battle, now its another crisis at kafanchan, may God disintergrate this country and grant us peace from our enemies of progress. SNC in mind.

it is true, we have been trapped indoors from 9pm yesternight. We just hope we find a lasting peace.

O Kafanchan City! my sweet Play-ground!!
Why na??
I served (NYSC) 2011/12 in Kagoro area of South Kaduna which is a few km from Kafanchan,.

I can confirm that the major problem there is caused by HAUSA-FULANI men cos
South Kaduna including Kafanchan is a full-Christian area.
However, I enjoyed my service year in there; (Lagos boy na)
"Dog meat" on mondays@ Mallagun. Bussa drink on Tuesdays@ Samaru. Burukutu and Palm-wine on wednesdays after CDS,@ Tum.
Pork meat on Thursdays@ Tunga.
Night-Clubbing on Fridays@ New-world hotels.
Sundays?!! Winners Chapel@ Kagoro.

There are security men at every junction(ARMY n Police)
but there's always tension of FULANI-HAUSA men arriving anytime through the bushes.
We normally sleep with "one eye open" and always good to go in a 7/7 dressing(not like Lagos otondos)..
I always move around with My lagos fares cos e fit happen anytime.
I thank God i came back to Lag safely.
Dunno when to visit North again.
Anyways R.i.p to the dead..

Fulani and Hausas Muslims are blood thirsty jihadist bent on implementing their sharia grip.

.

As long as the word ethnic group remain in this country peace will remain scarce.
