The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, SOKAPU, has described the incessant attacks on the people of Adara as ethnic cleansing and not communal clashes.
The statement noted, “Around 5am of June 3, 2020, armed Fulani militia, sneaked into Agwalla Magayaki and Tudun Agwalla in Idon Ward, Kajuru Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna, burning down homes, looting and leaving behind 9 corpses.” It explained that the villagers of Agwal said that the Fulani of Agwalla axis who they had played host to for decades quietly moved away at night before the attack on Gonan Rogo on the 12th with no notice, stating that 17 hapless villagers were hacked to death in that attack at Gonan Rogo.
According to SOKAPU, “Though Cafra Cino had rushed to issue a press statement announcing the killings that took place today, he did not visit the villages to see for himself, but he had hurriedly visited the burnt rugas.
