Senate to investigate Southern Kaduna killings, says Saraki

The Senate President, Dr
Bukola Saraki, has said that
the senate would commence
investigation into the latest
killings in the southern part of
Kaduna State.
Saraki made the
announcement in a
statement signed by his
Special Assistant on New
Media, Mr Bamikole
Omishore, in Abuja on
Tuesday.
According to Saraki, the
Senate will on resumption
from recess on Jan. 10,
make the issue a priority.
Omishore said the senate president made the disclosure
while responding to a tweet posted by one Chimeze
Ukoha on the Kaduna killings.
The statement quoted Ukoha as saying that “about 800
Christians were massacred in Southern Kaduna and
nobody is talking about that, very bad.’’
It quotes Saraki as responding that “once @ngrsenate
resumes, this issue will be addressed to get a clearer
picture of what the real situation is and find a lasting
solution.
“Every Nigerian life matters and @ngrsenate will work
to ensure that rule of law is always upheld as
prescribed by the Nigerian Constitution.’’
The statement explained that Saraki was already in
touch with senators from Kaduna State and that he
was constantly getting updates on developments.
People described as Fulani herdsmen have repeatedly
killed minority Christians in the southern flank of
Kaduna State. (NAN)
