Kaduna—The women’s wing of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, SOKAPU, has sent a Save Our Souls, SOS, to Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, pleading with him to address the worsening security situation in the area
“Hundreds of our villages have been sacked and some taken over by bandits. Even the immediate past government of the state had been reporting these atrocities to the press every quarter of each year. Our people, especially women and children in their thousands are rendered as IDPs. It is usually women and children that suffer the most during such displacements.
“Unfortunately, armed bandits stormed the village on 2nd October, 2021 and killed 13 male adults and a young girl. Among those killed was a grandfather, Baba Barda Kariya. The names of the rest are: Ali Nariya, Zakariya Nariya , Markus Nariya, John Nariya and Haruna Nariya. Others are: Iko Ali, Vincent Ali, Amos Zakariya, Habila Zakariya, Smalis Markus, Timothy John, Victor Markus and Godiya Markus, the only female killed.They then burnt down the village.
“Also note that a three and 10-year-old boys were among those that were kidnapped and still with the bandits. It is now 12 months since we heard from them. It is two years on the 2nd of October 2023 that they have been in the hands of their abductors. It is a very horrible experience for the relations of these captives to live day and night not knowing the fate of their loved ones.”
