KADUNA— THE Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Agyole Abeh, yesterday, announced that the 24-hour curfew imposed on two local government areas in December 2016 in the southern part of the state has been relaxed.
This is just as the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, said comments credited to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and the Minister of Interior, Gen Abdulraman Dambazau (retd.) reflect the Federal Government’s lopsided appointments into security agencies.
CAN said the FG’s position on the killings and the attack on the body has exposed the reason for government’s complacency on the issue.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has said the press and security agencies have questions to answer on the Southern Kaduna killings, “the press for giving the public one side of the story and the security agencies for allowing the killings to continue unabated.”
It described CAN’s position as subtle blackmail, saying Christians were also caught with arms in the area.
Also, as the controversy persists, CAN in the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory, yesterday, condemned the recent attacks and killings in some local government councils in Southern Kaduna, urging the authorities to rise to the occasion.
In a statement in Jos, Chairman, CAN in 19 northern states and FCT, Rev. Yakubu Pam, expressed regret at the rise in attacks, deaths and destruction of properties of villagers in Southern Kaduna at a time Christian leaders and the faithful in the North have prayed for lasting peace to return to states of the North.
