“We were discharged and acquitted because investigations were concluded and that we had no hand in the violence in which our people were the major victims.”
National President of Adara Development Association , Awemi Dio Maisamari yesterday told the Commission of Inquiry set up by the Kaduna State Government how Governor Nasir El-Rufai humiliated and imprisoned several Southern Kaduna people and some of their leaders.He stated this at the Public Hearing convened by the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Crisis in Kajuru, Kachia and Chikun council areas and neigbouring communities at the State House, Kaduna.
He told the commission that a meeting on the crisis in Kajuru and Kachia, which the Adara are claiming 95 per cent ownership, he said, was convened in Kasuwan Magani on February 15, 2019. “When it was time for contributions and suggestions, I raised up my hands, but as soon as I stood up and introduced myself as President of ADA, El-Rufai said I should sit down.
“While in prison, more Adara elders and leaders were arrested and sent to Kaduna Convict Prison based on allegations that they were complicit in the violence that ravaged Adara communities in Kajuru between February and March, 2019 in which the Adara claimed that armed Fulani herdsmen killed no fewer than 240 Adara natives and razed 12 communities,” he said.
