The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has revealed the real reason behind the spate of wanton killings in Southern Kaduna which has claimed scores of lives in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governor El-Rufai who opened up on Tuesday during an address at a security meeting held at the Council Chambers of Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna said that it was as a result of disagreement over farmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the current crisis in Southern Kaduna<\/a> is; \u201cthe tragic aftermath of events of June 5, when youths from two communities clashed over farmlands in Zangon-Kataf and the upsurge of violence in the same area that started on June 11.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, according to him, \u201clike an unwanted virus, the violence has spread to and has necessitated extraordinary measures in four local government areas in southern Kaduna.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, his government had done everything within its constitutional powers to bring peace to Southern Kaduna and all parts of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe answered the decade old demand for a permanent military base by working with the Federal Government to deploy a forward operating base of the Nigerian Army in Kafanchan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur government purchased an estate to provide accommodation for a permanent mobile police squadron in the area. Also deployed in the area are troops from Operation Safe Haven and Nigerian Army Special Forces, complemented by two mobile police squadrons,\u201d El-Rufai<\/a> said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also warned that \u201cno one should be allowed to get away with crime just because they can hide it under an ethno-religious veneer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
