Kajuru Attacks; One Too Many
CAN Kaduna State Chapter is disturbed by the frequent attacks on Kajuru communities. Recently, the general frenzy is that despite the continuing attacks on hapless Kajuru communities, those responsible for ensuring the security of lives and property are only but playing lips service to the security challenge.
Apparently, the honesty and commitment towards seeking lasting solutions to wanton destructions of lives are lacking, resorting to the usual propaganda.
No responsible government anywhere will act as if nothing was happening when a section of her citizens are killed.
The question is that is the federal government been told the truth about the happenings in Kajuru or that she has chosen to ignore the defenceless people of Kajuru to suffer alone?
The big challenge is that those who should see these killings as a war against her citizens are busy displaying a sectional preference to a section of its citizens. What they do is rhetoric but no concrete and genuine action.
Given the need to secure the life of every citizen, CAN Kaduna State calls on the government responsible for the protection of the citizenry to truly take on its constitutional role of protecting innocent citizens or else in the long run society ends up in chaos and the people everywhere may take up arms as their God’s given right to secure themselves.
Leadership is a serious business of safeguarding lives and prosperities. Hence, leadership is not about oratory but the taking of firm steps and actions towards stopping evil from destroying the land.
At this moment of grief in attacked Kajuru communities and humanity in general, CAN commiserates with the people of Kajuru and appeals to all peace lovers in Kajuru, in-respective of ethnic or religious identities, to work together to promote peace and security of their community.
CAN is saddened that this is happening at a time of lockdown, meaning security personnels are not doing enough to enforce lockdown.
The Kajuru crisis has claimed more lives than Coronavirus, but much attention is given to COVID-19 while less to the Kajuru Killings.
No one want to loose loved ones whether through crisis as in Kajuru or through Coronavirus, any way someone dies the bottom line is that he or she is gone.
The government should not be seen paying less attention on Kajuru Killings.Government must act quickly to stop this crisis.
We must not forget that an injury to one is an injury to all.
