The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has held an emergency security meeting with heads of security agencies over attacks in some parts of the state.
The meeting held on Friday at the Government House in Kaduna, two days after over 20 people were killed in Kajuru Local Government Area of the state.
After about four hours of deliberation behind closed doors, the Commissioner of Police in Kaduna, Umar Muri, gave an update on the issues discussed.
The member of the House of Representatives representing Kajuru/ Chikun Federal Constituency, Danjuma Barde, as well as District Head of Kufana, Titus Dauda, also briefed reporters on the outcome of the meeting.
They called on all warring parties involved in the conflict to bury the hatch, and assured them that the government was working to bring the attacks to an end.
According to them, there cannot be any development when there is mutual suspicion among the various tribes living in Kajuru.
They, therefore, pleaded with all parties involved in the crisis to champion the course of peace and reconciliation.
The meeting also had in attendance the state deputy governor, Hadiza Balarabe, leadership of the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS) in Kaduna, as well as political leaders and traditional rulers.
The government imposed a curfew in the state to contain the spread of the Corona Virus but despite the movement restriction, a group of armed men attacked four communities in Kajuru LGA on Tuesday, killing 15 people with five others left injured.
Barely a day later, armed men invaded three more villages also in Kajuru, 8 people were killed and many others were left injured.
