President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered decisive measures aimed at bringing an end to the mindless acts of
violence and destruction in the Southern part of Kaduna State.
Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said this in a statement
Thursday.
He disclosed that on the orders of
President Buhari, the Inspector-General of Police was in the state on Saturday
and Sunday to take stock the situation.
Shehu said in addition to the conventional
policemen deployed in the area, a squadron of mobile policemen had now been
stationed there.
According to him, “the Nigerian army
is also in the process of setting up two battalions in Southern Kaduna while
the military continues to carry out air surveillance across flash points of the
area.”
He said Buhari had “directed the
National Emergency Management Agency to carry out a joint assessment of the
situation with the sister agency in Kaduna to determine the level of response
required for urgent aid to the victims of the violence.”
