The people of Southern Kaduna have cried out against the government’s inability to arrest and bring to book the perpetrators of several attacks on the area since 2014.

A statement issued by the spokesman of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), Mr Luka Binniyat, said,

“Let it be put on record that in the hundreds of attacks that have put many parts of Southern Kaduna into ruins and thousands killed since 2014, we have not seen anyone arrested and brought to book over these heinous crimes against humanity.”

The union lamented what it called “the gruesome mass murder of not less than 38 harmless, armless villagers in Malagum 1 and Abun (Broni Prono) villages, Kaura Local Government Area (LGA) in Southern Kaduna”.

The statement regretted that the killings, which lasted for long, started around 11pm Sunday night simultaneously in the two villages.

"Not only were these poor innocent citizens killed, not less than 100 houses were razed, with some victims burnt alive,” the forum explained.

According to the statement, volunteers are still combing surrounding bushes in search of missing persons and more corpses following the attacks by the gunmen on the two communities.

He disclosed that the villagers had noticed the gathering of strange herdsmen coming from different directions on motorbikes to set camp in a nearby bush some days back. He lamented that the security forces deployed in the area did nothing when the villagers noticed the gathering, adding that the dastardly act is coming five days after armed herdsmen herded their cattle into a farm owned by Cletus Dunia, 45, in Kpak village, a sub-unit of Kagoro, in Kaura LGA and shot him dead at close range before mutilating his corpse and fleeing with their cows.

The statement stated that the rampaging herdsmen also shot and killed Levi Zakaria, 19, as he was harvesting yams on a farm that was by the fleeing path of the killer herdsmen, saying that on the same day, the same herdsmen killed Ezra Sunday 16, about 2km from where Zakaria was killed.

It explained that the same herdsmen caused the death of Gaje Habila, 31, when he fell and died of exhaustion while escaping, leaving behind a widow and a six-month-old baby, his only child, pointing out that between Tuesday and Wednesday last week, armed men described as herdsmen, invaded some homes in Kamuru village, Ikulu Ward in Zangon Kataf LGA in Southern Kaduna and killed four (4) persons. The statement explained that forty-six (46) persons were killed in the attacks in Southern Kaduna in the past five days.

"We believe that the aim is to further destabilise Southern Kaduna and give excuse to the Federal Government to stop election in the area. Already there are thousands who have been chased out from their ancestral homes as a result of similar violence unleashed on them, between 2019 and this year as the attacks are coming close to the 2023 general elections,” he added.

After seeing this pictures and you still decide to vote for the demonic APC, May God take away your source of happiness and render you a vagabond in every area of life.

Jesus, this is too sad to look at

At least they deserved public attention
They weren't left unnoticed
RIP

If you look at the names you will see that 99% of them are christians. This is not an accident, it is a deliberate effort to cleanse a particular religion. 2023 is around the corner. Northern minorities vote wisely to avoid even worst atrocities. This will be nothing compared to what will happen to you, if you vote the wrong candidate. To tell you that those in power are aware and in support of what is happening, is that they will never say a word or condemn it. But if it's a minor accident involving 5 people in Niger, our president will be the first to console Nigeriens and the government of Niger republic. But he will never do that to his fellow Nigerians.

Congratulations to Buhari, El-Rufai and APC. You guys have done well.

And tinubu bring there governor out 4 London to talk about security,we too dey play 4 dis country....

This is really terrible . The Muslims up north are keeping quiet thinking it does not affect them not knowing that this is a slow process that will eventually affect them too. I believe the government are fully aware of what is going on and even know those who are perpetuating these heinous crimes.

If genocide against the Christian faith isn't ongoing in Southern Kaduna, I don't know what is!

RIP

Does southern Kaduna speaks same language with northern Kaduna

Or are they being killed just as a result of religion

Man's inhumanity against fellow men. May God rest their souls.

I wish those supporting APC Muslim Muslim ticket should reason like sane human beings.

Shameless, heartless, bloodsucking and murderous ihordspy wwwihy, I hope you are happy with this news.

What goes around comes around! What you wish for others all in the name of politics will meet you in due season .

Never again shall we allow Cold hearted but power hungry old Men bereft of ideals like Buhari rule this country. NEVER!!!
WE ARE READY TO DIE TRYING!!!

Ok

Painful...

RIP

I don't and will never hate tinubu or anyone, but what I don't seems to understand is how can someone be wishing tinubu becomes Nigerian president after all we've gone and still going through in this administration where what we have is presidency and not a president because he has no grip of himself mentally and physically, if not for selfishness, tribalism and a choice to be foolish the people supporting tinubu wouldn't have been doing it, but God will disappoints and discredit all of you who want Nigeria to remain a laughing stock among other nations.

And tomorrow they will just go about their buinesss like nothing happened, haba

What is happening in Southern Kaduna is the peak of genocide been carried out by the organised Fulani militants in support of El rufai and the FG.

I bet you, every form of banditry and Fulani activities is sponsored by the FG

Lord have mercy
