The Southern Kaduna Peoples’ Union (SOKAPU) has confirmed that over 30 people, including women and children, were killed in an attack early Monday by suspected terrorists on Kamaru village in the Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
In an open letter dated 27 July and addressed to the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, SOKAPU President Tabara Kato expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation across rural and farming communities in the state.
Mr Kato noted that the tragedy occurred despite repeated security assurances from authorities and ongoing stakeholder engagements.
He said residents of Kajuru, Chikun, Kauru, and Zangon Kataf LGAs continue to live in constant fear, with many families displaced from their ancestral homes as armed criminal groups operate with increasing audacity.
Mr Kato urged the police to take immediate, decisive steps to halt the escalating killings, abductions, and widespread destruction of farmlands.
