Hundreds of natives of Southern Kaduna have started fleeing their communities to take refuge in other parts of the state, following fears of further attacks SouthernKaduna Killings Insecurity Nigeria
Spokesman of the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union , Luka Binniyat, who disclosed the new development, lamented the humanitarian crisis and exodus of many indigenes of the troubled areas, saying: “SOKAPU is now faced with serious humanitarian crisis created by the recent attacks and killings in the communities in Zangon Kataf and other villages where the invaders had a field day.
He argued that under the present situation, “many natives are no longer comfortable, they are leaving the villages in their numbers to find safer places because of fears that the Fulanis may come back again to attack them.” “Even if the curfew is lifted, freely grazing cattle herded by armed Fulani men have eaten up and trampled over thousands of hectares of grain farms, yam farms, sugar cane crops, among others. This portends obvious hunger and increased poverty for our communities this year and the next.
Makarfi, in a statement signed by his media aide, Mukthar Sirajo, said he was disturbed and saddened by news of the resurgence of violence in the southern part of the state, pointing out that “resort to violence as an expression of grievance complicates, rather than solve problems.”
