Southern Kaduna vows to set up security force to protect itself
The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) in Nigeria has vowed to defend themselves against attacks by armed bandits and kidnappers. SOKAPU National Publicity Secretary, Luka Biniyat says the group members also plan to establish a “natural security outfit” to defend themselves against invaders and killers.
Speaking on a radio programme with Invicta Radio, its National Publicity Secretary, Luka Biniyat, said the state has put up little or no effort to protect Southern Kaduna people, which had made the area vulnerable to attacks.
Biniyat said, “The security outfit will have our people defend themselves, despite the fact that we don’t have the finances and legal backing, we intend to defend ourselves naturally.
The people of Southern Kaduna have been looking into ways to better protect each other from repeated attacks by suspected Fulani bandits for quite some time.
The most recent incident took place on February 12.
Gunmen killed invaded Maro Village near Kajuru, killed seven people and injured five in that raid.
