Foreigners Killing People In Kaduna – El Rufai by Emekamex(m): 1:27am On Apr 08, 2016
Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai has
accused cattle rustlers, who he claimed
were mostly Fulani from neighbouring
countries, of being behind the killings in the
state.
The governor made this disclosure during a
television programme, Sunrise Daily on
Channels Television.
El Rufai, however, expressed delight that
such killings had ceased within the last six
months due to some measures put in place
by his administration.
According to the former minister, the
intervention of a committee he set up under
the leadership of Gen. Martin Luther Agwai
(retd) did a very good job.
His words: “By going round and tracing the
root of these killings, we found that most
of those who come in to do those killings
are from other countries like Cameroon,
Chad, Mali and Senegal.
“This happened in April and these cattle
rearers had come from these countries and
were going back, because they move across
the West African sub region and were going
back with their cattle when this problem
happened. If you remember the elections of
2011, they were just victims that were
passing through.
“And of course you know the Fulani have a
long memory of revenging any killing; so,
there relations were coming from other
countries to revenge the killings and we had
to reach out to some of these countries
outside Nigeria telling them this cannot
continue,” he said.
The governor noted that they offered to
compensate those affected “and do any­
thing” to bring the killings to an end,
insisting that “there is no sense wiping out
an entire village just because something
happened five years ago.”
Speaking on how he was able to succeed in
office, he said his first mission after
assuming office called a security meeting to
address the killings and reprisal killing that
occurred after the general elections.
“In the South you have Christians and non-
indigenes and in the North you have mostly
Muslims and Hausa speaking Northerners
and it is very unhealthy,” maintaining that
“these repeated cycles of ethnic and
religious violence are part of what
contributed to what is destroying Kaduna.”

Lying narrative. In the North there are also christians and non indigenes everywhere.

The North does not have more than 55% muslims. So el-Runpa, get this clear!
