Full update on Kaduna crises. Govt urges calm as state security council meets today.

A 24-hour curfew was imposed on Kaduna metropolis and environs yesterday following commotion in many parts of the state with many people feared killed and others wounded.

Daily Trust reports that suspicion over the fate of the paramount ruler of Adara, the Agom Adara, Mr. Maiwada Galadima, led to stampede, starting from Kasuwan Magani, where 55 people were killed three days ago.

Reports had filtered in that the Agom Adara, who was abducted with his wife Mrs. Victoria Galadima at Maikyali village along Kaduna-Kachia road, has been killed following the release of his wife yesterday.

The police had on Friday confirmed that the shooting to death of the police orderly of the traditional ruler and three others as well as the abduction of the royal father and his wife Mrs Victoria.

One of the leaders of the Adara youths said the abductors had called the daughter of the traditional ruler with his phone and asked her to come and take her mother at a spot near Rin village.

He said the lady then contacted leaders of the Adara who sent a car and picked Mrs. Galadima at the spot and brought her back to town.

“It was when the wife came back and people saw her alive but did not see the Agom Adara that tempers flared, suspecting that the traditional ruler had been killed. Some youths rushed into the streets and started blocking roads and searching vehicles.

“But the abductors later got in touch with the daughter and she spoke with her father and confirmed that he is still alive,” the source, who does not want to be named, told Daily Trust.

However, before the Agom could confirm he was still alive, the news had gone far that he had been killed.

Tension spread to communities along the road with motorists plying the route being targeted, and people started running in all directions creating stampede at Mararaban Rido, Sabon Tasha and other parts of the Kaduna metropolis.

There are reports that some traders were attacked at the Sabo market. Traders from other markets such as Kasuwar Barci, Abubakar Gumi Central Market, Kasuwar Unguwar Shanu, among others, attend the market every Sunday.

“People started running in all directions and nobody was sure what was happening,” said a trader at the market.

Many feared killed:

A source at St. Gerard’s Hospital in Kakuri, Kaduna, who declined being named because of the sensitivity of the issue, said many victims were taken to the hospital, mostly from Sabo axis.

“Between 4 and 6pm yesterday, three military trucks and two Volkswagen Golf cars, and two tricycles brought corpses and injured persons,” the medical personnel said.

At around 6:30pm, the source added, the hospital staff were overwhelmed by the situation.

“The school management had to order all student nurses to be deployed to the Accident & Emergency unit of the hospital to cater for the victims,” the source added.

The source, who couldn’t give the exact number of corpses and injured ones brought to the hospital, said majority of the casualties had gunshot wounds, while others had machete cuts.

“By 7:30pm, the hospital management asked that the gates be closed. I saw many vehicles with victims being turned away at the gates. The bodies were deposited at the morgue while the injured ones are being treated,” the source said. Daily Trust reports that a journalist working with Nagarta Radio, Joy Odoh, was stabbed around Kawo on her way to work. She was taken to a hospital inside 1 Div Barrack where she is receiving treatment.

Irate youth took over streets:

Our correspondents report that as tension enveloped the metropolis, irate youths took over major streets in Narayi, Barnawa, Tudun Wada and parts of the city centre, some brandishing weapons and freely burning tyres and searching vehicles plying the roads.

Several vehicles were burnt around Jos road in the city centre.

I swear the way this country is going.... within the next few years there will be nothing like one Nigeria........ nothing is working in this country... hw will I be sharing the same country with an uneducated,dirty,stupid Islamic Hausa and Fulani...this people are the problem of this country...so backward..... stupid people

Your acrimony towards hausa/fulani totally out of this world. Just imagine you commenting without proper reasoning. Is like you don't know Kaduna. Hausa/Fulani violence is learning from their neighbor in that state. Who told you that those people were killed by Hausa/Fulani?

Wait, how old are you??

observanc1:
i am not from kaduna. But u guys should stop cornering everything for yourselves. Talking of minorities in kaduna, u are. Southern kaduna are indigenes and in majority. 90% of hausa fulani muslims are migrants. El rufai himself is even from katsina

And you forgot katsina was carved out from Kaduna state.

Funny how deep your ignorance is.

And everyone is an indigene; the fallacious idea of indigene/settler is another political agenda of CAN which unfortunately adds to the embers of hate.

Whatever happened to everyone being Nigerian with the right to settle anywhere? And yet you people accuse us of being backwards when all you do is promote some caveman agenda designed to further the gulf between common citizenry.

Perhaps you may ask the mass of igboe "settlers' in the North to retire to their own neck of the woods if you pedestrian lot insist on seeing the world in stark black and white only.

kennygee:
OMG

Even animals won't act like this, and to think the youths that we claim are future leaders, are the ones using their hands and minds to commit this heinous crimes.

Your middle belt brothers did worse during the pogrom.

comodo:
The blame game has started. Its only a lifeless & zombified person that can be manipulated by another. A Normal human will tell u & ur family to lead from d front.

Yet there are so many zombified easily manipulated gullible folks, some of them were recently made to dance in poptopoto to the tune of a fearsome python; while the cowardly instigator was last seen wailing at the wailing wall in Israel, calling for Lefellendum and no Erection..
