The Network of Peace Journalists in partnership with Conflict Mitigation and Management Regional Council (CMMRC),
We received with shock the unfortunate attacks on community members of zonzon community of Zangon Kataf LGA of Kaduna State
that claimed the lives of 9 persons with many reported injured, while other persons have not been accounted as of this period.
In a statement Jointly Signed by Ibrahima Yakubu
Network of Peace Journalism and Ibrahim Yusuf Chairman CMMRC – Kaduna State and Silas Kure PRO – CMMRC- Kaduna State made available to newsmen revealed that.
As a peacebuilding structure, we totally condemn the manner of such attacks and call on the security agencies and the Kaduna State
government to do the needful in terms of arresting the perpetrators of such dreadful acts.
We commiserate with the families of those that have lost family members and the entire people in that region over the unfortunate incident.
We further appealed to all the relevant government agencies responsible to do more in terms of protection of lives and property to ensure that communities
are given the needed protection and to be provided with relief materials to the affected persons.
We continue to solicit for more understanding among the religious groups and youth to ensure to continue to support for peace at all levels, seeing that
they have strong influence in terms of peace and unity, as we continue to pray for peace in affected localities in Kaduna State and the nation at large.
We would like to conclude by extending our condolences over the devastating situation and hope that peace will prevail in Kaduna State.
