Jonathan Asake is a one time Federal House Member representing Zango Kataf constituency. He is also a former Chairman of Zango Kataf Local Government in Southern Kaduna, and is the current President of South Kaduna Peoples Union(SOKAPU). In the interview below, Asake talked about the killings and massacres in Southern Kaduna. The interview is over an hour long but the main things he said are:

What is going in Southern Kaduna is genocide perpetrated by the Fulani Militia. They invade communities in the night or early in morning, armed with AK47 and machete and proceed to hack and shoot people down as they sleep. They kill children, rape women, murder the men and abduct people, forcing those who survive to flee for the lives. It is after the Fulani Militia have driven the indigenes out that the Herdsmen arrive with their cattle to take over the land

Right now, places like Kajuru, Zango Kataf, Kaura and Kafanchan are all under siege. Everyday, people are buried in mass graves as the government does nothing to save lives and property. The government of El Rufai has refused to set up official IDP camps to as to hide the fact from the world that genocide is going on in Southern Kaduna. People are living in make-shift accomodations with no assistance from government. Whenever there is an attack, El Rufai will declare 24 hour curfew. While people are observing the curfew in their homes, the Fulani Militia will arrive to attack them. People have run to nearby communities only to run again when that community is also attacked. When our men mobilise themselves with machetes, sticks and bows and arrows to defend themselves from the invaders, the security forces will arrive to arrest them instead.

The Fulani Militia attack us and run into the nearby bushes and when the security forces arrive and we point out where the killers are, they never go after them. instead, they arrest our men who have mobilised to go after the invaders. We are suffering, our children are out of school, our farms destroyed and our people are constantly chased out of their community. In the mist of all this, the Presidency along with Garba are trying to mislead the world with the false narrative that the killings are just farmers/herders clash, community clash and reprisal killings

Let the world know that what is going is genocide. At night, a long queue of armed Fulani Militia on motorcycles will invade a community and slaughter people, forcing the survivors to take flight. Then they move in and take over our land. It is Fulanization. Not one single armed Fulani Militia has ever been captured or brought to book, they act with impunity. We are appealing to the world to come to our aid because the Federal Government and the Kaduna State Government have both failed us

Where do expect them to get AK47 that the herdsmen are carrying?

the same way herdsmen are getting theirs, it is an open market.

Let this be on record that the government of Buhari and his supporters from South west kept quiet while genocide is being committed in southern Kaduna and other part of the country.

The south west are quick to form Amotekun to defend themselves from this failure they foisted on us, but they can't speak up for other innocent minorities.

We shall always remember.

As in...Why has revolution not started in Kaduna?

SOAKPU should write to the UN.

SK should organise massive protest in US and UK with pictures of the slain villagers. Let the world know the kind of genocide going on there.They should wake up or else. Elrufai and Buhari will eliminate them all.

If U no get anything meaningful to say, just keep quiet at least ur dad sperm that begotten U ll not be wasted.
