Makarfi condemns renewed Southern Kaduna killings, says human life now worthless

Former governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has observed that human life has become so worthless in Southern Kaduna, adding that on the slightest provocation, people resort to killings.

He said this is horrible, obnoxious and unacceptable.

Makarfi in a statement issued on Thursday noted that these callous acts must be condemned by all people of decency.

“We must all come together, irrespective of whatever differences, to do whatever it takes to put a stop to this wanton descent into animalism.

“I’m appalled at the descent to the gutter, by some elements, to whom human life has become so worthless that they waste it at the slightest (in fact, sometimes no) provocation.

“I condemn these callous and cowardly acts and appeal to the people of the communities and indeed all people of the state to remain calm, peaceful and law-abiding, as well as resist the temptation of taking the law into their hands.

“This is even as I urge the government and security agencies to ensure that no stone is left unturned in the effort to fish out and bring perpetrators of these dastardly acts to justice.

“I convey my most heartfelt condolences to families of the deceased, other victims of the violence, as well as government and all people of Kaduna State and earnestly pray for the quick return of peace and normalcy to the affected areas and also pray for an enduring peace in Kaduna State and the entire country. ”

It will be recalled that a resurgent wave of attacks and violence recently led to the loss of lives around the Jema’a-Kaura-Zangon Kataf Local Governments axis of Kaduna State.
