El Rufai Lied, 11 Persons Not 66 Persons Were killed - CAN

-

The senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district whose constituency covered the affected local government, Shehu Sani, had wondered why an incident that happened on Sunday 10th February, would be made an issue on the eve of the general elections.





So also the Chairman of the Kaduna State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Joseph Hayab on Saturday dismissed claims by Governor Nasir el-Rufai that 66 persons were killed by gunmen in the Kajuru Local Government Area of the state.





In a press statement that read;





“The press statement by the spokesman for Kaduna State Governor, Mr Samuel Aruwan, suggests that “the killings in Kajuru Local Government were carried yesterday (Friday) 15/2/2019. This is false in its entirety.


“We are aware that the incident happened in the late hours of Sunday 10 February to February 12, 2019, at about 1am at Gindin Gada in the Maro Ward of Kajuru Local Government, Kaduna State where unidentified hoodlums went into the village and killed about 11 people in their sleep.
“The incident led to reprisals. Two of the suspects were said to have been apprehended and handed over to the Divisional Police Officer in the area. It was in the afternoon of the said date of the attack (as contained in the press statement) that the District Head of Kufana, Mr Titus Dauda, and four of his local chiefs were released after their invitation by the Department of State Services.
