The Kaduna State House of Assembly Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus, has condemned all attacks and killings in the southern part of Kaduna state and called for stronger action to end the conflicts.

The Assembly’s Minority Leader, Mr. Emmanuel Kantiok, member representing Zonkwa constituency, said at a press briefing on Friday in Kaduna.

He said that the caucus views government response to the crisis as “passive and non-challantant”, which have consequently emboldened the attackers.

Kantiok said the spate of attacks in southern Kaduna was very sad, and there was a need for the government to take drastic action against all perpetrators irrespective of who they are.

“We condemn all the attacks and killings no matter their nature or motive. Stop justifying the attacks on the guise of reprisal, evil in whatever form and shape are evil and must be called by its name.”

He stressed that the caucus wanted the government to “rise up to its responsibilities of protecting the lives and properties of the people of southern Kaduna, Kaduna state and the country at large to avoid a descent to anarchy.”

He called on the people of southern Kaduna to remain vigilant, calm and be law-abiding, and always cooperate with law enforcement agencies and provide them with information and report on any suspected miscreant.

The caucus condoled with the families of the bereaved, those injured and or lost their properties in the senseless attacks.
