No fewer than 214 persons were reported killed in attacks orchestrated by herders, farmers clashes, communal feud-engendered by conflicting ownership of parcel of land, Terrorists attacks and reprisal across Kaduna State as Governor Nasir El-Rufai appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria to escalate security operations across the seven frontline states in the North-West in order to put the menace to check.

The number of persons killed within the last three months this year was contained in a report submitted to the Kaduna state Governor by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs Samuel Aruwan.
A further breakdown of the figure showed that 196 males, 14 females and four minors were slaughtered within the period under review.

Against this back drop El-Rufai urged the FGN to ensure that security is improved in Niger State within the coming weeks, especially the days leading to the May 29th handover date.

He added that states government alone were unable to handle the problem of security within their territory.

Aruwan in his report gave a detailed explanation that 196 males, 14 females and four minors were killed while 746 citizens were kidnapped during the period under review.

He also said that Kaduna Central Senatorial District remains top on the list with 115 deaths, a sad development which led to El-Rufai making an appeal to the FGN to help in improving security as well as securing the lives and properties of residents of the state.

“We appeal for an escalation of security operations over the next 39 days remaining to the end of the tenure of this administration and beyond so that the change of baton at the federal level does not result in a dangerous law that criminal outlaws can exploit,” El-Rufai said.

“There is every reason to intensify and sustain simultaneous ground and air kinetic actions across the seven frontline states of the North-West region and Niger states.”
