Coalition group urges end to killings in northern Nigeria
Kaduna – The Coalition Against Killings in Northern Nigeria (CAKIN) on Monday called on the Federal Government to end the killings in the northern part of the country.
The call was contained in a statement jointly signed by Isa Abubakar, Northern Youth Council of Nigeria; Yerima Shettima, of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Yusuf Amoke, Northern Anti-corruption Front and Mohammed Danlami, Arewa Youth Assembly, among others.
“We are saying enough is enough and an end must be put to the mindless killings of our people, particularly in the villages.
“The attitude displayed by government and its agencies to the plight of the people in the hands of criminals, seems to have overwhelmed our security agencies.”
According to the statement, CAKIN wants President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately relieve the service chiefs of their duties.
CAKIN also demanded the investigation and prosecution of security personnel found to be living above their legitimate earnings.
The coalition called for the immediate stoppage of the security votes to state governors and canvassed the immediate commencement of community policing throughout the country.
