The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, SOKAPU, has alerted the world that Southern Kaduna communities have been under constant invasions and massacres which is fast assuming a genocidal proportion.
Jonathan Asake explained, “On Monday, May 11, 2020, Gonar Rogo, another defenceless community in Kajuru Local Government Area, came under assault from Fulani Herdsmen Militia. The following day, the attackers extended their murderous expedition to Bakin Kogi where residents had fled the town. They burnt down the town and launched another assault on another village, Idanu.
“As we address you this afternoon, tension has spread to several communities in Kajuru local government area, especially Idon and Doka, with fear-stricken residents fleeing in droves for fear of impending attacks. The atmosphere of death and destruction now holds sway in our communities. “For the avoidance of doubt, all attacks, invasions and killings are properly documented. SOKAPU has the names of towns and identities of victims of these mindless attacks on our communities, with some of them widely published. We insist that the recent invasions are a continuation of a deliberate and entrenched agenda of subjugating and 0ccupying our ancestral lands,” SOKAPU observed.
“Our position on the Kabrasha attack reminds us of the widely reported story of the importation of two highly weaponized drones that were intercepted by the Military Intelligence at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, on Jan 28, 2020. “SOKAPU also recalls that various individuals and groups, including the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum had called on the Federal Government to immediately order the suspension of the Commander that released both the suspect and the drones without following laid down procedures, while a judicial commission of inquiry is set up to investigate the matter.
