Leaders of the Fulani community in Kachia and the Northern Consensus Movement have called on the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, to probe the alleged arrest and killing of 11 Fulani youths at Ladduga in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State.
Recall that 11 decomposing corpses of Fulani from the Ladduga community were discovered in a forest located near an area called “Crossing” within the local government area earlier this month. The bodies were identified by relatives and community members as those of the Fulani allegedly arrested by soldiers at different times.
Meanwhile, addressing a press conference in Kaduna Tuesday to register their displeasure over the killing, the National President of Gan Allah Fulani Development Association, Ibrahim Abdullahi, accused the Nigerian Army of acting unprofessionally in the arrest and killing of the youths without following laid down procedures.
“The decomposing bodies of the victims were deliberately dumped at a nearby community to create friction between the Fulani community and their neighbours,” he said, adding that more youths of the community are still missing after the military invasion.

“We call on the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Major General Christopher Musa, who is a son of the soil to investigate the matter and bring the erring soldiers to face the wrath of the law as innocent Fulani cannot die in vain.”
On his part, the President of the Northern Consensus Movement, Auwal Aliyu, called for the immediate probe and arrest of the soldiers who carried out the alleged extra-judicial killings. He stated that the move would douse the tension in the Ladduga community.
