President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday, October 21, condemned the violence in Kaduna state and commended the state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, for efforts made so far to prevent total breakdown of law and order.
The president, in a statement released on Sunday, said the killings which started on Thursday, October 18, said he frowned against the disregard for the sanctity of human life as exhibited in the Kaduna crisis.
The Police have been authorized to do everything possible to restore calm. A Special Intervention Force has been deployed to the flash-points, and the IG will provide regular updates.
“The disregard for the sanctity of human life is unacceptable. Violence is an ill-wind that blows nobody any good. I appeal to community leaders and citizens to always choose dialogue, patience and tolerance, to prevent crises from escalating into violence.
“Let me also commend the Kaduna State Government for its rapid response to the crisis.
“The Federal Government and its law enforcement agencies will work with the State Government and community leaders to ensure the full restoration of peace and security.”
