Northern gov’s condemn latest attack in Southern Kaduna
The Chairman of the Forum, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau,
via a statement issued by his spokesperson, Makut Macham, described the attack
as unfortunate.
He expressed concern that the yet to be arrested gunmen,
attacked four Atyap villages in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna
State.
Mr Lalong expressed worry that the attacks on the villages
were persistent in spite of all efforts by the Kaduna State Government and
security agencies to end the violence.
He said the attacks in the villages showed the desperate attempt
by criminal elements to not only cause pain and sorrow among innocent citizens,
but also frustrate the efforts of the Kaduna State Government at fostering
peace and harmony.
“We are deeply saddened by this cycle of violence and
blood-letting that is carried out against unarmed and helpless people. This is
reprehensible and regrettable.
”While we call on the security agencies to rise up to the
occasion and apprehend these criminals, we also encourage the citizens to
assist with relevant intelligence that will lead to the arrest of these blood
thirsty people,” he said.
He said any group or individual aggrieved should seek
redress through official channels than resorting to actions which lead to
crisis and instability.
The chairman commiserated with the victims of the crisis and the Government of Kaduna State, while promising to support Governor Nasir El-Rufai in working with all stakeholders to bring the incessant crises to an end. (NAN)
