Kaduna Killings Politically Motivated – Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, senator representing Kaduna central at the National Assembly, says the killings in Kaduna State are politically motivated.

Sani in a statement via his Facebook page on Tuesday, further warned those behind the attacks in the North western state of dire consequences.

Recall that weeks back armed bandits attacked a military camp killing 11 soldiers, in Birnin Gwari area of the state.

The military personnels, who were on operation `Ayem Akpatuma’, were deployed to the local government to ensure security for expatriates and others working on a new road linking Zamfara and Kaduna states through Dansadau-Dangulbi and Birnin Gwari.

The expatriates had last year fled the town after one of them was kidnapped, but later returned after soldiers were deployed to the town.

Kaduna have witnessed sustained attacks in the past two-years, with scores of people been killed in different parts of the state, especially in southern region.

Reacting today, Sani said: “The wave of inter gang violence, bloodshed and thuggery in Kaduna state has never peaked to this level in the history of our state.

“Those supporting, sustaining and encouraging these acts of criminality for their political or economic advantage should know that there will be consequences in the future even if they enjoy protection today.

“I condemned this atrocities in totality and call on security agencies and the general public to harmoniously work together to end this menace.”
