Southern Kaduna killings : El-Rufai installing CCTVs

CCTVs are being installed in Southern Kaduna by the administration of Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State.

The governor said that this is part of efforts to strengthen security forces and restore calm in the crisis-torn communities.

In a statement signed by him on Monday after meeting with the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Revd. Supo Ayokunle, and other CAN leaders in Kaduna, he disclosed this.

The statement titled, ‘Let Us Unite to Build a Constituency for Peace in Kaduna State’ read in part,

“Since last month, the state government and security agencies have been working to contain an upsurge in violence and needless killings in parts of the state.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives in a totally unnecessary frenzy of communal attacks, reprisals and revenge.

While we mourn the dead, our immediate focus remains to stop the cycle of attacks and reprisals.

We remain committed to ending the legacy of violence that has blighted the state for 40 years, needlessly taken many lives and curtailed the life chances of others.

We will continue to support the security agencies to restore calm in the affected communities.

Over the last five years, we have invested heavily in the security sector. We have consistently provided vehicles and other logistics support to the security agencies that are deployed in the state.

We are also addressing the technology side of security, through the procurement of drones, the award of contracts to install CCTVs in phases in Kaduna, Kafanchan and Zaria metropolitan areas, build a command and control centre and establish a forensic laboratory.”
