Kajuru Killings: Police Disown Casualty Figures Announced By El-rufai by KikBuhari2Daura: 8:03pm On Feb 21, 2019
The Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Ahmad Abdurrahman, has disowned both figures announced by Governor Nasir El-Rufai as casualties in Gidan Maro an Iri axis of Kajuru Local Government of Kaduna State.

Mr Abdurrahman said the police are still investigating and won’t quote or confirm any figure until their probe is concluded.

At first announcement on February 15, Mr El-Rufai said 66 people were killed by “criminal elements” in various dispersed hamlets in Kajuru Local Government. The army also confirmed the 66 deaths.

In another announcement after an extensive meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and service chiefs on February 19, the governor said the death toll had risen to 130.

Mr El-Rufai’s first and second claims were followed by criticisms by some people who raised doubts about the figures.

One of such criticisms came from the senator representing the district. “What I found out about the killing is that it happened between Sunday and Monday. The figures for the death are within the range of 10 to 15. The state government exaggerated the figures and also timed the announcement of it in view of the fact that that place is remote and beyond the reach of many journalists,” Shehu Sani said.


PREMIUM TIMES journalist visited the scene of the killings on Wednesday and on Thursday sought clarifications from the commissioner.

Mr Abdurrahman neither confirmed nor denied the governor’s figures but said the police had no hand in arriving at them.

“Right now, if the governor tells you even 200, he is just quoting figures. It may be more than that or less than that. For example, the areas you have visited where we were told that 36 bodies were buried, It was not under the purview of the security at the beginning of the investigation until when the Fulani victims themselves came out crying after we have secured all the places with our military counterpart. They now approach the military that come and escort us to come and bury our relations. That was when it was uncovered.”

The police chief said his men were still investigating the issue and would not identify with any figure until this is concluded.

“As I told the governor himself, I said figures in a crisis of this magnitude should be left until all investigations have been finished. All those areas we are getting information are covered. You cannot come up with a figure. You will come and say a figure and later you have to come and say it again. And this is what is happening As far as police is concerned we are investigating and investigation is still at embryonic stage. By the time we reach all areas…as I’m talking to you now, my men are still in the bush, plus SEMA and other CSOs.

“That’s why professionally, we don’t come out with figures until when we are sure and concluded our investigation. So, you see that there is no reason to say this one said this figure or that one said this figure,” he said.

Mr Abdurrahman said the troubled communities are now in a post-crisis period warning that ‘nobody should stampede investigation.’

We all know the dwarf to be an evil incarnate.

All their plans to postpone election in some parts of Nigeria failed.

This INEC chairman might be in the books for the face of democracy in Nigeria 2019.

All plans to frustrate this election by Buhari's brother in charge of Logistics at INEC, Muazu must fail insha Allah.

I'm expecting a post election slaughter! Reprisal loading

As the Germans says "Revenge will not go unavenged"!

The murderous cycle continues

This will deepen the divide further between the 2 religious groups and it plays into the hands of the governor who is milking it for all its' worth!

How hard is it to count the number of dead & missing people to the extent that it's almost running into a week for this simple task, are you saying the villagers don't know them selves or the security forces can't count!!

Hmm last Friday when I was traveling to my LG for election some of my northern brothers were hailing Elrufai for killings at Kaduna, I was not shocked because I know I am in part of the country where religion and sentiment is always the selling point. undecided
Let's pray for Nigeria. Jonathan was a southern and man of peace but this time around is two desperate notherner contesting and the other person believes that is his birthright.
It is well
