Victims of the recurrent killings in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Tuesday held a peaceful rally in Abuja, during which they cried out to the Nigerian government for justice.
Speaking at the event, the convener of the rally, Williams Abba, said it was to call the attention of the world to the insecurity in Kaduna State.
“Insecurity in Kaduna State is alarming. Every day we wake up to people being killed in their sleep,” Mr Abba said. Mr Abba said the indigenes were mostly the victims of the killings. He said the people expected unbiased handling of the situation by the government. “We call on the federal government to set up an independent commission of enquiry to probe the Kajuru killings, including the exhumation of Fulani corpses if any,” he said.
One of the community members, Martha Adams, said the killings started early in the morning and mostly women and children were killed.
