All Progressives Congress (APC)’s national stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has condemned the fresh communal crisis at Kasuwan Magani in Kajuru Local Government, Kaduna State, in which 55 people reportedly died.
Asiwaju Tinubu, in a statement in Lagos at the weekend by his Media Office and signed by Mr. Tunde Rahman, said it was essential for people of various religious groups and persuasions to accommodate one another and live in peace and harmony.
The police had arrested 22 suspects in the wake of the crisis said to have been sparked by youths in the local government.
The APC leader admonished traditional, religious and youth leaders to embrace peace and put an end to the mayhem and bloodshed.
Tinubu particularly urged the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) in Kaduna State and in the troubled area to inculcate in their members and youths generally the importance of peaceful co-existence and the sanctity of human life, saying without peace and tranquillity, a society cannot make any meaningful progress
“Security agencies must also be alive to their responsibilities and step up their intelligence gathering mechanism.
“The police should be pro-active so they nip any deadly attack in the bud before they are hatched. We must bring all the perpetrators of this fresh attack to book, they must be made to face the full wrath of the law in order to serve as a deterrent against any future nefarious plan,” he added.
