Traditional rulers in the 19 Northern States and the Abuja on Monday met in Kaduna over the disturbing spate of insecurity in the region and the country.
The northern monarch under the aegis of the Northern Traditional Council was presided over by its Chairman and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III and held at the Lugard Hall Secretariat of the council, in the metropolis.
In his opening address, the Sultan described the killings in Southern Kaduna as “madness,” calling on those involved in the carnage to stop immediately.
He said, “The Southern Kaduna killings is madness and has to be stopped immediately. No man in his right senses go on a killing spree of innocent people under whatever guise.”
Abubakar blamed the politicians for being behind the consistent crisis in the Southern part of Kaduna.
He, however, warned that if the brains behind the atrocities did not stop, they would be consumed by their own traps.
In his own remarks, Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, said the Southern Kaduna crises had prevailed for the past 40 years.
