The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) has called for urgent intervention over the destruction of farm crops, the killing of several individuals and the kidnapping of eight people in Kauru and Kachia Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.
The forum expressed its concerns over the sad, worrisome, and “devastating” news of the killings and the destruction of farmers’ crops by herdsmen in Kauru Local Government Area.
The forum described the incident that affected several people as heartbreaking and very disturbing, lamenting that it is sad that it impacted struggling individuals who can barely afford to feed themselves.
A statement issued by the forum’s Public Relations Officer, Josiah Yusuf Abraks, explained, “These are predominantly farmers, including women. Among the victims is a woman fending for her partially blind husband, whose farm crops were completely ravaged by the cattle of the rampaging herdsmen.”
The statement further lamented that the culprits have yet to be apprehended.
The forum called on Governor Uba Sani and all security agencies to ensure the arrest of the perpetrators of this evil in Yadi community of Kauru Local Government Area and anywhere else such crimes are committed
