Kaduna vows to stop Fulani herdsmen’s attacks on communities

KADUNA—The Kaduna State government has said that it was committed to finding lasting solutions to the incessant attacks on communities in the southern part of the state by sauspected Fulani herdsmen, pointing out out that those linking him with the unprovoked attacks were political jobbers.

This was contained in a statement yesterday by the Director General, Media and Publicity to the governor, Ahmed Maiyaki.

Maiyaki’s statement read in part; ‘’While we share in the pains of those that are genuinely concerned about finding a lasting solution to the situation, we have, however, noticed that some cynics are bent on escalating the crisis for selfish motives.

‘’We deem it necessary to address some of the misinformation or outright mischief conveyed to the public by some interest groups on the issue.

‘’We wish to clarify from the onset that the governor’s hands are clean on the issue of attacks on  innocent people of Southern Kaduna and that he remains unrelenting in his determination to bring such barbaric acts to an end.”
