Nigerians are calling for international
awareness regarding the current genocide in
Southern Kaduna state of Nigeria.
Kaduna state is located in Northern Nigeria and is
characterised by ethno-religious violence, poverty, ethnic schisms and land issues. The inhabitants of Southern Kaduna are mostly farmers and Christians.
The main contention is between the Fulani herdsmen and
indigenous farmers. The people in the area most affected are farmers who are aggrieved by how the Fulani herdsmen walk their cows and cattle in their farmland and destroy their farms and all their hard work.
Press releases from Clergy
leaders suggest that over 800 people have been killed.
It is also reported that the people are discontent by the way the issue is being handled/or not by the government.
Solomon Musa, an attorney and president of the Southern
Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) highlighted the macabre of events in the community and stated that
their communities have been neglected and abandoned by the government when they
most needed them. It has been reported that the Fulani herdsmen are equipped with sophisticated weapons and carry out merciless carnage in these communities.
The clergy men stated that in an attack
in the Godogodo and Pasakori areas, the military just watched as their homes
were razed and burnt to the ground.
The issue in Southern Kaduna is a complex one and needs handling now before it escalates to other parts of the country.
