President Muhammadu Buhari has directed security agents to take decisive measures towards ending the cycle of violence that has consumed lives and property in the troubled southern parts of Kaduna State.
A presidency statement last night said it was the president who ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on an assessment tour of the affected areas and subsequent deployment of extra policemen to maintain the peace there.
The president also plans to set up two battalions of Nigerian Army to take over from there for long-term peace and security of the region.
While commending Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, on the efforts made to contain the violence so far, Buhari directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to assess the situation and provide relief aid to victims.
The statement issued by Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, said that the president has over the past week given instructions for decisive measures aimed at bringing an end to the recurring acts of violence and destruction in the Southern part of the state.
“On the directive of President Buhari, the Inspector-General of Police was in the region on Saturday and Sunday to assess the situation at first hand. In addition to the conventional policemen deployed in the area, a squadron of mobile policemen has now been stationed there.
“The Nigerian army is also in the process of setting up two battalions in Southern Kaduna while the military continues to carry out air surveillance across flash points of the area.
“President Buhari has equally directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to carry out a joint assessment of the situation with the sister agency in Kaduna, SEMA, to determine the level of response required for urgent aid to the victims of the violence.
