Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, has condemned the killing of two herdsmen by mob in Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said the mob forcefully seized two herders allegedly linked to banditry and killed them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mob then lynched and burnt the herders, even though they had not been found complicit in the allegations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor, he said, strongly expressed concern over the extra-judicial killing of the herders.<\/p>\n

While appealing to families of the victims to remain calm, the governor directed security operatives to embark on a thorough investigation of the matter.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner said, \u201cThe Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has condemned in the strongest terms the killing of two herders by a mob in Birnin Gwari, LGA.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity agencies reported that the mob forcefully seized the two herders from security personnel, on unsubstantiated claims that they were linked with banditry. The mob then lynched and burnt the herders, even though they had not been found complicit in the allegations.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cGovernor El-Rufai expressed deep concern at the violent actions of the mob, and strongly condemned the extra-judicial killings. He reiterated the place of lawful methods as the only acceptable option in confronting any suspicions of criminality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor appealed to the families of the victims to remain calm, and directed security agencies to conduct thorough investigations towards fishing out the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor has also directed the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs to liaise with the military, police and DSS to contact the victims\u2019 families for further engagements toward averting counter-attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe Governor cautioned against further actions of self-help, and warned against dangerous stereotyping, labeling and similar lawless dispositions capable of stirring up violence. He renewed appeals for consistent recourse to constituted agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilarly, the government has received reports from security agencies regarding the conduct of some individuals and groups in the general area, who unwittingly complicate the security situation with insensitive public commentaries. Such actions have been judged by security agencies as unhelpful in the ongoing operations against terrorists and bandits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the government of Kaduna State is not against commentaries on security challenges, the government\u2019s position remains that individuals and groups with useful information should liaise with security agencies, rather than expose citizens to extreme danger through supposed advocacy.”<\/p>\n
