SouthernKaduna: THE Commander of Operation Safe Haven, Major General Chukwuemeka Okonkwo has blamed the killings in Southern Kaduna on “criminal elements on both sides”, ruling out ethnic cleansing as claimed.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai said his administration has done everything within its powers to bring peace to the area.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, General Okonkwo said, “What we have are attacks on some communities and reprisal attacks.”Both sides of the conflict have been attacking each other, he said, adding, “The reports are not balanced. Perhaps, most of the media houses don’t know that both sides are actually involved.’’The commander promised that the military and other security agents will re-strategise and…be more robust in the days to come.
But President of the Christians Association of Nigeria , Rev. Samson Ayokunle described the killings in the area as unacceptable, urging the federal and state governments to stop the violence.
