Mr El-Rufai said insecurity in the state is being perpetrated by criminal elements who have been killing, kidnapping people and rustling cattle...
says giving criminal activities ethnic and religious colouration is responsible for the persistence of communal crises in Kaduna State.
The governor lamented that the activities of the bandits were being coated as ethnic and religious when they occur in the southern part of the state. He said this tends to exacerbate communal tensions and pitch people who have lived peacefully together against each other.
According to him, the bandits operate mostly in Katsina, Zamfara and Niger states where he noted that their attacks are often seen and reported as criminal activities. The governor, who expressed his sadness at the killings, said the community leaders need to emphasise adherence to the rule of law, to avoid the persistence of attacks and reprisals.
