The Youth President accuse the Federal Government to have silently endorsed the ongoing genocide in Southern Kaduna, saying that the “FG perceived silence on the killings speaks volume on its hatred for Christians living in the region”, adding that the genocide is aimed at eliminating Christians, so that herdsmen will dominate and take control of the area.
He disclosed that a total of 808 people were killed in 53 villages across four local governments areas, giving a statistics of the killings and destruction that over 57 people has suffered various degree of injury while farm produce estimated at N5.5 billion were also destroyed.
