THE Centre for Development and Rights Advocacy (CEDAR) has condemned the unending killings and violence in some parts of Kaduna State, while calling for the resignation of the Governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero.
In a statement by the group titled, “Unacceptable killings in Southern Kaduna, our call for emergency rule and resignation of the governor,”
CEDAR Chairman, Dr. John Danfulani lamented that again, “at around 5p.m on Monday, 3rd of February 2014, a southern Kaduna community of Zangan in Attakar chiefdom in Kaura Local Council was invaded by armed men.”
He explained that during the unfortunate attack, “the barbaric and coward operators killed one person, burnt down settlements, and wounded many.
“The wounded are now in Kafanchan Hospital receiving treatment from injuries sustained. A similar incident was recorded on Friday, February 1, 2014 at Manchok, in the same locality. The February 1 attacks sent a family of seven to the great beyond and bodies inhumanly mutilated in a bestial fashion.
“Unfortunately, this is happening in an area heavily covered by security forces whose number is far beyond the number required to cover the entire area.”
