Over 40 people including children have been reportedly killed by suspected herdsmen in Chawai Chiefdom, Kamaru Ward in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Sunday, November 13th. About 45 houses were said to have been razed in the attack.
The State Government in a statement issued by Samuel Aruwan, spokesman to Governor Nasir el-Rufai, condemned the attack, describing it it as barbaric conduct by people who are opposed to peaceful and harmonious living by communities.
The government stressed the urgency for peace-building and enhancement security in the area. It said emergency relief for survivors had been ordered along with enhanced security.
In his reaction, the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) urge the state government to fund a formidable joint military operation that would flush out murderers. The national Chairman of SOKAPU, Solomon Musa, a lawyer, alleged that some powerful people were sponsoring terrorists to eliminate the people.
 "It has now become abundantly clear to even the worst skeptics that Southern Kaduna has become a killing field, where genocide is taking place unabated," 
Musa urge the youths to never take the law into their hands no mater the provocation.
