Ciroma, who refuted a claim by El-Rufai that killings in northern Kaduna were in connection with the 2011 post election violence, said that the governor hasn’t done anything tangible to stop the menace.
“There is no record of Fulani herders from Mali or elsewhere coming to Southern Kaduna as governor El-Rufai claimed. The Fulani I know in Southern Kaduna are the Kachechere people.
“The Fulani men they said intruded in Southern Kaduna, l don’t know them. I have not seen them and I don’t talk to them. They could be there but I don’t see them.

“l am 60 years of age and l have been living in Southern Kaduna. If there is anything like foreign Fulanis in the area at that time, l should know but there was nothing like that.
“To the best of our knowledge, there is no any strange Fulani that came from Mali or Senegal and was killed.
“I don’t want to talk too much about this Man (el-Rufai). He talks too much on security and we have not seen anything good in the area.
“I am a victim of the attack in Southern Kaduna and I am neither a cattle rearer nor a farmer but my younger brother was shot at the chest and he died during one of the attacks by herdsmen. This was caused by the nonchalant attitude of our security men.”
“I believed my brother would have been saved. It is glaring that the security agencies have not been asked to do their job, that is why we are in this mess,” Ciroma said.
“But governor El-Rufai has not taken any proactive measure to ensure the terrorists are cleared. If the terrorists’ camps are cleared, it will nip the attacks going on,” he added.
