Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-
Rufai, yesterday, condemned the
destruction of the foundation
laying structure of the proposed
Army battalion Southern Kaduna by unknown persons and described the action as unfortunate.

A statement signed by Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity to Governor El-Rufai, Samuel Aruwan quoted El-Rufai as saying:
“The conflict entrepreneurs are
determined to continue to create
obstacles and setback to our
stabilization and peace building
efforts.”

The statement continued: “I
received the news with shock over
the unfortunate destruction of
foundation laying structure of the
proposed Nigerian Army battalion
in Southern Kaduna. The very
structure we erected to establish
the long-awaited Army Barracks to assist promotion of peace and end the decades of senseless
bloodletting in the southern part
of Kaduna State.

“The situation is unfortunate,
condemnable and a setback to the
government’s communal
stabilization and peace building
efforts, but we will not be
deterred.”

In a similar reaction, another
concerned group, Southern
Kaduna Concerned Youth
(SOKACOY), also described the
development as a major set back
to peace restoration agenda in
Southern Kaduna by enemies of
the troubled areas.

Coordinator of the group, Adamu
Barde Kagarko, in a press
conference said, “Our attention
has been drawn to the wicked act
that was perpetrated by our
enemies who have destroyed the
Foundation of the military base
that was laid by the Chief of Army
Staff and His Excellency, Governor
Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai in Kafanchan
last weekend. We condemn it in its totality and we hope and pray that the perpetrators will be brought to book. It is very sad that when Government is making frantic efforts to secure our region, some enemies of the state from our region are carrying out these
unwholesome acts for whatever
reasons that is best known to
them.”

Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur
Yusuf Buratai and Governor El-
Rufai had last week laid the
foundation for the establishment
of the battalion at Ungwan Yashi
area of Zangon Kataf Local
Government as a response to the
incessant killings occurring in
Southern Kaduna since 1980.
