Southern Kaduna had witnessed series of attacks recently which claimed many lives.
The State Governor, Malam Nasiru El-Rufai on Tuesday described the prevailing insecurity in southern Kaduna as an act of criminality compounded by the injection of religion and ethnicity.
The governor who stated this at a security meeting with heads of security agencies in the state said nobody would be allowed to get away with the crime irrespective of his ethnic or religious affiliation.
The meeting was aimed at mapping out lasting solutions to the killings in the southern part of the state.
