A tribute to Dr Obadiah Mailafia by Southern Kaduna’s People in Diaspora Association Europe (SOKAPDA Europe)

…Says attacks in December are not new and shows they are premeditated

Southern Kaduna people living in diaspora under the auspices of Southern kaduna people in diaspora (SOKAPDA) Europe have condemned in strong terms the renewed attacks on communities in southern Kaduna. The group said the attacks are unacceptable and must be brought to a stop.

The group in a statement signed by its President, Mr Casimir Biriyok states that attacks in the area usually intensify in December a proof that the attacks are premeditated by the terrorists. It also accused the government and security agencies of not doing enough to protect lives and properties in the area.

Recall that Kamuru-Ikullu, Mallagun and Kpak communities in Zangon Kataf and Kaura local government area of Kaduna state respectively were attacked on different occasions this week, leading to the death of at least seven (7) people.

The statement reads in full;

“Men should think twice before making widowhood women’s only path to power.” — Gloria Steinem

Southern kaduna people in diaspora (SOKAPDA) Europe, condemns the recent killings which resulted to lost of lives and injuries to innocent citizens in Kamuru -Ikulu, Mallagum, Kpak and other parts of the state.

As a community in diaspora, we find it difficult to comprehend how human lives seem to have little value in Nigeria in general and Kaduna state in particular.

Looking back over the years, it is obvious that these broad day killers seem to intensify there activities in the month of December especially in the Southern part of the State. Given this scenario, one would have thought that those who are drawing salary to protect us and by implications saddled with the responsibility of protecting the lives of our people should have taken precautions given past experiences.

At the time of writing this release, we have not read or heard of any concrete measures by the power that be as to how they will protect us or what measures or precautions are being taken to remedy the situation now that it has become a routine.

It is essential to hold those who have sworn to protect us to do the needful for we in diaspora are frustrated that in the 21st century, technology like phone tracking, geo orbits satellite, drones and old fashion spying etc have not been fully utilized. We have been told time and time without number that the best is being done. Those at the receiving end seem not to see all these efforts for the killings seem to be going on unabated for years.

It is also on record that nobody as far as we know, has taken any responsibility for possible negligence or dereliction of duty or responsibilities and resign to indicate how serious some of those responsible for our peoples’ security have taken it.

The peaceful Kaduna that we knew is no more and we sincerely hope that some where within the political classes, someone will take security of lives seriously for it is absolutely too tragic that our state has become a killing field.

SOKAPDA will like to take this opportunity to express our sympathy to the families of the souls that were lost during the killings. May their souls rest in peace.
Our heart remains with all the families that they left behind. It is only Almighty God that can console them in these challenging periods. Similarly, we sympathize with every individual who have in one way or other been affected negatively by these random killings that seem to have no end in sight. We take exception to others describing these as either communal disputes or skirmishes. We should call spade a spade, these are premeditated killings. Period.

President of Southern Kaduna people in Diaspora (SOKAPDA) Europe
