Kaduna Violence: Police tighten security in Kaura, Jema’a
The police command in Kaduna says more operatives have been deployed to Jema’a and Kaura local government areas to forestall the breakdown of law and order.
Its spokesman, ASP Mohammed Jalige, stated this in a statement late Tuesday night.
Mr Jalige said the deployment followed fracas, which led to the loss of lives and destruction of properties in Agban/Adan villages of Kaura LGA on March 21.
He explained that the deployment became necessary considering the volatile nature of such clashes in the past and attendant consequences.
He added that the situation had been brought under control with the subsequent declaration of curfew by the Kaduna government, which covered Jema’a and Kaura LGAs.
He added that acting police commissioner, DCP Maiyaki Baba, had directed a full-scale investigation of the incident.
“The Ag.CP, while condoling the good people of the State, particularly families of those who lost their loved ones in the unfortunate incident, warns those inclined to foment trouble, to desist as the long hand of the law will catch up with them,“ he said.
He called on communities to be law-abiding and comply with the curfew imposed as violators of the order would be made to face the consequences of their actions.
He explained that the curfew was not meant to punish anybody but as a strategy to safeguard lives and property.
