KADUNA -Hundreds of half Unclad protesting women
booed and threw objects at an unusually longconvoy of Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero at
Fadan Karshi, in Sanga Local Government Council,
LGC, in Southern part of Kaduna state yesterday.
Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria,
CAN, yesterday alleged that the killings that had
occurred in Sanga LGC, was carried out by
terrorists and that 300 lives had been lost in the
invasions.
This was contained in a letter written to visiting
governor Yero and handed to him at Fadan Karshi
yesterday, as protesting women wailed and pelted
his convoy with mud and sand at the palace of the
District Head of Fadan Karshi while it was raining.
The women were angry that after not less than 7
attacks on their villages, in which not less than 300
villagers were killed since last July, the governor
had not visited the place until a few weeks to the
primary elections, according to sources to Vanguard
from Sanga on phone.
Mr. Bezard Wuyah, National President of Ninzom
Progressive Youths told reporters in Kaduna about
the visit of the governor to Karshin Daji and Fadan
Karshi.
"The governor came with hundreds of soldiers,
policemen, Roads Safety Corps, SSS, even with a
detachment of Prison Guards.
It was more of an invasion, not a condolence visit.
Our mothers and sisters who were expecting a
sober, caring governor were furious when they saw
that it was as a form of intimidation against them so
they don't bare their minds on the negligence they
had suffered since gunmen sacked their villages
and rendered them homeless?
That was why they were protesting and asking that
the governor kills them so that they die and rest.
They refused to be cowed," he said.
"But Sanga natives are law abiding and we are
appealing to everyone to remain calm since the
governor has come and seen the situation", said
Wuyah.
It was gathered that an embarrassed Yero called on
the people to be patient and be peace abiding in a
brief remark before returning to Kaduna.
A call to the Director General, Media and Publicity to
Governor, Mallam Ahmed Maiyaki was not
answered, since the press was not invited to cover
the visit. A text message demanding the side of the
Government on the issue was not also replied by
Maiyaki at the time of writing this report.
MeanwhileHaving a letter written by CAN, Sanga
LGC branch, signed by its Chairman, Rev. Fadan
Mathew Anana to Yero which was obtained by
newsmen in Kaduna reads: "We have suffered
gruesome massacre as members of the Christian
community in Sanga Local government, as a body.
We the Christian Association of Nigeria, Sanga Local
Government chapter wish to passionately appeal
that, as a matter of urgency, you kindly use your
good office to arrest this ugly development by
ending these terrible attacks on our peace-loving
and defenseless people.
"A careful consideration of the attacks that have
been launched on various communities in Sanga
LGA from June 23rd to the most recent one which
occurred on 16th & 17th of September, has clearly
revealed that these attacks were carefully planned
and carried out by some terrorist Islamic
fundamentalists mainly on Christians within the
Local government.
"Over 300 lives of Christians have been wasted
through these attacks. Our children, women,
including pregnant women and the aged, our
clergymen, Churches, pastors' residence and our
properties have been the sole and main targets of
these attacks.
We must clearly state that this sad, ugly and
unprovoked attacks have over-stretched the
patience of the Christian community in Sanga LGA
to engage us in a religious war which is not in our
nature and tradition as Christians.
"It is our earnest prayer to Almighty God and to you
that concrete steps shall be taken to ensure there
is no further attack on any community in the Local
Government area from henceforth"
