Urges authoritiesto recover decomposed bodies from bushesSouthern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU)has said that over 60 persons are still missing after recent attacks on 15 communities of Kajuru by herdsmen.Not satisfied withthe manner the police and Kaduna State Government were handling the attacks and killings in Kajuru,the group called on government and the police to trace the whereabouts of the 60 inhabitants and recover the decomposing corpses in the bushes for proper burial.The National President of SOKAPU, Jonathan Asake, in a statement yesterday in Kaduna, slammed the police and the state governmentfor their inability to address the genocide by armed herders inSouthern Kaduna.Asake, who led leaders of SOKAPU and Adara Development Association (ADA) to deliver food and religions materials to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) atthe weekend, said: “We are here to see thesepeople; the people that have been displaced from their various communities intothis primary school, in Rimo, Kajuru Council. We heard about it and we know they have been displaced without food; they could not carry cloth and their beddings. They are sleeping on bare floor in this primary school. So, we have decided to comewith some relief materials.“But, again, we heard a very sad report from the police authoritiesin Kaduna that there were attacks only on May 12 1nd 13, 2020 in Gonan Rogo and Unguwar Arha, and that outside that there is no where attacks and killings had taken place.”He criticised the police and Kaduna government for allegedly trying to misinform the world over attacks and killings in Southern Kaduna.“From the information available to us, several communities have been attacked in Kajuru Council, not only Unguwar Arha and Gonan Rogoas asserted by the police.”Besides, the leaders of SOKAPU and ADA in Kajuru condemned the statement by the police in Kadunapurporting no fresh attacks andkillings, whereas victims of the May 18 to 24, 2020, attacks were presently camped at Rimo Primary School.The police in Kaduna had denied any fresh attack in Kajuru, warning against the spread of fake news.The statement bythe police on Saturday was on the heels of comments by theNational President of ADA, Dio Maisamari, over the attacks by armed men in Southern Kaduna.Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Mohammed Jalige, had said: “The attention of the Kaduna StatePolice Commandhas been drawn to a fake and maliciously fabricated story being circulated on social media, purportedly issued by the National President of Adara Development Association dated May 28, 2020 captioned ‘Again Fulani Herdsmen Attacked Southern Kaduna Communities’ in which the writer reported that there were fresh attacks on some communities in Kajuru Council where he claimed that from January to May 2020 people were killed and many injured and displaced from their homes.”
