A community leader of Birnin-Gwari in Kaduna State, Zubair Abdurra’uf, says the killings in Southern Kaduna has persisted because the government and other people who should talk and act on the issue have remained silent.
Abdurra’uf says the people of Southern Kaduna have lost faith in the security agencies, as they were always found wanting when terrorists attack them.
The community leader’s comments is coming in the wake of recent attack on Runji Village in the Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State where no fewer than 33 people were killed. The victims have been given mass burial.
The Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan said that several houses in the community were burnt down while some residents were injured by the attackers.
