Group condemns incessant killings in Southern Kaduna

The Southern Kaduna People in Diaspora (SOKAPDA) Europe, has condemned in very strong terms the incessant killings and destruction of properties in Southern Kaduna in recent times.

A statement signed by Mr. Casimir P Biriyok and Dr. Janet Nale, respectively President and Secretary of the group, said: “We, the indigenous people of Southern Kaduna, represented by SOKAPDA in Europe, find it incomprehensible that human lives seem to have little or no value in Nigeria in general and Kaduna State in particular. These attacks are obviously calculated to inflict maximum damage without any consideration for the young, elderly or women. Those who masterminded the dastardly act sought to execute a scorched earth policy aimed at total extermination of a people.”

The group further lamented that the political class is asleep, only to wake when they need votes to remain in office, stressing that the elected representatives at both the state and federal levels ought to be at the forefront of the search for solutions to the mayhem depleting the Southern Kaduna population.

The group called on the Association of Southern Kaduna Lawyers to be in court challenging the unwillingness of the state and federal governments to positively respond to the cries of their people for respite from incessant attacks by both miscreants and political marauders.
