The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN has blasted the killings in Southern Kaduna.

The commission recently asked the State and Federal Government to be proactive about a lasting solution.

According to the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Tony Ojukwu, the alleged invasion of Gora Gan village in Zango-Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State which led to the killing of no fewer than 10 persons, including a 7-year-old boy and the village head is annoying and devastating.

He added that the main duty of government and its security agencies is to protect the lives and property of the people, so they should do their job.

His words, “Some mistakes have been made in the past but the whole essence of creation is to live together in harmony”.
