The Nigeria Police
on Saturday said it would establish a mobile police base in Kafanchan to
address security problems in Southern part of Kaduna State.
The Inspector
General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, announced this to news men during a fact
finding visit to the trouble area.
“ From the
discussion I had with Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-rufai, we have
decided to station a mobile police base in Kafanchan.
“We are here to see
things for ourselves so that we have a lasting peace in the whole area.’’
The IGP said a panel
had been set up to investigate the crisis in the area thoroughly, including the
allegation that 800 people were killed in the crisis.
Idris said some of
the reports on Southern Kaduna were exaggerated.
He said most of the
leadership of the villages had a lot to contribute to peace and unity of the
area.
“Some of the
community leaders need to be cautioned. They are contributing to creating
situation that does not exist.’’
He said the police
were committed to restore lasting peace and later met with community leaders in
the area.
The News Agency of
Nigeria recalls that Operation Harmony aimed at restoring lasting peace in
southern Kaduna was inaugurated on Dec. 24.
