The statement reads:

“The aforementioned Association after its meeting wishes to acknowledge the concerted efforts with the security agencies especially the Nigerian Army, Operation Safe Haven, the robust efforts of the Nigerian Police, NSCDC (Civil Defense) DSS and the other fringe security outfits for their audacity, prompt responses and strategic deployments against the remote and immediate security challenges in the Southern Kaduna Axis. These efforts are not only noble but have provided the needed safety backwaters to our people.

“We also duly recognize the tireless efforts and consistent response of the Kaduna State Government under the leadership of Governor Mal. Uba Sani towards the intractable threats posed by the chilling and cold hearted actions of the criminal gangs that have held the people in the hostage in their domains making livelihood difficult,

“Equally, we also recognized the efforts of the Traditional Leaders of every tribe within the southern Kaduna enclave for their tireless response to the collective needs of their peoples, liaising with critical stakeholders in ensuring that the needed peace, security and tranquillity are not only ensured but sustained. We are all proud of their accomplishments.

“However, we have recently noticed the skewed prejudicial handling of security challenges by the chairman of Kaura. Hon. Sankyal Obadal Sanko especially when culprits arrested were not of his tribesmen.

“Several instances abound pointing to unfortunate and biased treatments against the Fulani tribesmen completely and hastily branding them as Kidnappers, cattle rustlers and arsonists that are operating and unleashing mayhem on the people of southern Kaduna,

“These he does without giving any Fulani arrested the benefit of doubt through careful and meticulous investigation. His Blanket characterization of any Fulani as criminal has shown how shallow and timid his entire outlook on criminality is.

“Many Innocent people have suffered tremendously through his misappropriation of justice and fairness. Unknowingly, majority of the major kidnappings and gang related offenses perpetrated within the axis were committed by tribesmen and not the Fulani he so hated with passion.

“In recent times, we have not seen an individual that so much hates the Fulani with Immense vile and passion like the Chairman of Kaura Local Government Council.

“He has neglected his place as custodian of public safety and insisted become a tribal warlord.

“Imperatively, the recent arrest of some brutal and ruthless kidnappers that have been terrorizing and kidnapping of some high valued individuals in the southern kaduna has laid bare the sentimental agony of the chairman.

“These individuals are Christians from Manchok in Kaira Local Government Area. They revealed chilling and poignant kidnapping they executed from 2013 to date.

“Not only that, the terror that have been brutally unleashed on the people were also carried out by this tribesmen. But yet, the chairman has been quick to blame the Fulani, while allowing kinsmen to go scot free.

“The men arrested who confessed to the ruthless crimes are Christopher Cheto from Manchok and Jerry Jacob Mai Zafi also from manchok. That arrest has poignantly shown that while he has in mind a general characterization of Fulani as the prime suspects, his people are the originals culprits. But because the Fulani does not usually have a voice he has succeeded in planting the régime of hate and acrimony of the Fulani in the minds of the people of Southern Kaduna making the cadence that characterize their usual existence difficult.

“Rightfully so, among his punitive and from fated treatments of the Fulani tribe, one example stands for many.
“The chairman ruthlessly accused a respected and innocent Fulani leader, Ardo Hart, who is equally the chairman of Miyetti Allah of Kaura Local Government Area who was invited by the Council Chairman for a meeting but later ordered for his arrest as a terror enabler.
“He ordered for his arrest and transferred to Operation Safe Haven Headquarters in Jos where he was subjected to harrowing experienced for weeks and was later release without evidence of crime or charges.
“That incident was not only inhuman but has shown how low the Council Chairman thinking also presented to the world the true picture of his punitive measures he has been taking against the Fulani.
“Ardo Hari is not an ordinary man, he is an Institution who could be used for the promotion of peace and stability in southern kaduna and beyond. If that can happen to a leader of men, what is happening to ordinary men can better be imagined.
Expressing their disdain,
“Painfully, when the body of the Fulani Ardo and elders were summoned by Mr. Sanko over the arrest of Ardo Hari and other Sundry security issues, he insulted, humiliated, and called them unprintable names. His polemics and pejorative remarks on the Ardos were a poignant testament to his shallow, bias and jejune mindset that is unbecoming of a progressive leader. Slapping them as terror enablers was against the ethics and precept of human leadership.
“We therefore strongly call on the Council Chairman to as a matter of necessity and equal representation to make redress, treat everyone as equal regardless of whether they are Fulanis or Marwa, as it has clearly shown by the arrest of his kinsmen that the Fulani are not the criminals but major contributors to the socio economic developments of the Kaura Local Government Area and beyond.
“Rightly so, his people are discovered to be the purveyors of evil and crimes festering in his constituency. He should therefore listen to the voice of reason, to come out clean and apologize publicly to the Fulani in the area and, most especially to Ardo Harl.
