Fulani-Jihadist Kills 41 People in Fresh Southern Kaduna Attack

The Fulani-Jihadist terrorists have killed no fewer than 40 people in a fresh attack in Southern Kaduna. With 17 killed in 3 villages in Dawaki Ward, Kauru LGA & at least 24 in Gefe, Kajuru LGA.

A terror attack that started on the 25th of December has killed over 250 people in the ethnic cleansing of Christians both in the Middle Belt and Northern Nigeria. This is a terror alert coming in after the Plateau massacre carried out on Christmas Eve by the Fufudi-speaking aggressors, whom many now called Fulani-Jihadists.

However, the Nigerian government has yet to declare war on terrorism nor labelled the armed and dangerous group a terrorist organization as citizens’ lives are terror targets amidst politicization of insecurity challenges, especially Christian-dominated villages considered vulnerable.

Meanwhile, warnings are pointing to the motive behind these attacks. The former Chief of Army Staff, TY Danjuma, said, “There is an attempt at ethnic cleansing in this state, and of course, in all the riverine states of Nigeria. We must resist it. We must stop it. Every one of us must rise. The armed forces are not neutral, they collude with the armed bandits that kill Nigerians. They facilitate their movements and cover them. Depending on the armed forces to stop the killings, you will all die one by one.”

So far, there has been criticism out of concern for government and military neglect to secure lives and properties as citizens are by politicization of insecurities made vulnerable to attacks from the terrorists.
