Kaduna State Government has said that more security personnel have been deployed to the Sanga local government area of Kaduna state.
While condemning the recent killings and other criminal elements in the state, the state government said that the security operatives being deployed to the Sanga area of the state is as a result of the recent attack where gunmen killed nine persons in Nandu village on Saturday
The Kaduna state made this known in a statement signed by the government spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan, on Saturday in Kaduna.
The statement which condemns the recent killings in the state read; “Security agencies have been deployed in the area, and the State Emergency Management Agency has been directed to immediately provide relief materials to the affected community,” the statement said.
“The security agencies have so far recovered nine corpses, including children. The attackers also burnt several houses in the village.
“The government condemns this attack on the lives and security of citizens and appeals to our communities to resist those who do not want peace.
“The governor, on behalf of the government and people of Kaduna State, commiserates with the families of the victims and prays for the repose of their souls.
“Government, security agencies, traditional and religious institutions will continue to work towards sustainable peace.
“In this moment of grief, we must come together to defeat the machinations of those who have no notion of respect for the lives of others.

“We must overcome this by respecting our common humanity, settling differences peacefully and promptly reporting threats and suspicions to the appropriate authorities. Evil will never triumph over our common humanity.”
