“This massacre has further proven that the killers of the Southern Kaduna people have not yet been neutralized as claimed.
“The federal government and the security agencies must not let the killers escape. Those who committed this evil must be fished out, arrested, and brought to face justice.
“These renewed killings may be a strategy to scare the people from exercising their rights and to further increase fear and impoverish them.”

The CAN chairman appealed to the government to rise to the occasion and ensure the protection of lives and properties in the state, especially in the southern part of the state where killings have been prevalent over the years.
