Acting President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has vowed that the federal government will not relent in its efforts to secure Southern Kaduna until quietude is achieved.
Professor Osinbajo made the pledge in a State House press release signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, Office of the Acting President, Mr Laolu Akande.
To that effect, he has ordered further security reinforcements in the State.
The latest effort followed reports of communal clashes that resulted in the loss of lives earlier this week in Kajuru, Kajuru Local Government Area of the State.
Prof. Osinbajo commiserates with families of the victims, the government and people of Kaduna State, and wishes the injured victims speedy recovery.
He also commends the prompt response and efforts of the State government, and those of the security agencies which contained the situation and restored the peace.
The Acting President also condemned the act of violence in strong terms.
He notes that the security challenges in Southern Kaduna which has led to the needless deaths is a source of concern for the Federal government and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians.
Prof. Osinbajo also noted previous and ongoing efforts of the Buhari administration to confront the situation
He assured that no effort would be spared in identifying and bringing perpetrators of these dastardly acts, against innocent Nigerians to justice no matter how long or hard it may take.
According to him, Nigerians in the area and everywhere in the country have a right to live in peace, and the Federal Government considers this its sacred duty: ensuring such expectation.
“We will not relent and won’t be deterred in our pursuit of securing the lives and property of all Nigerians, everywhere and in every part of this nation.
“In the end, we will not only secure the peace all around, but we shall enforce justice for the victims and all of those that are affected,” he declared.
