See Communiqué below –

Being The Resolutions On The Attacks On Kajju By The Bajju Development Association (Bada), Youth Wing At The End Of Its Central Working Committee Meeting On The 21st November, 2012 At The Bajju Townhall Zonkwa

The incessant attacks in Bajju Chiefdom, Z/Kataf Local Government Area, by people believed to be Hausa /Fulani can be described as “ONE TOO MANY”. Since the post election violence in Kaduna State in May 2011, the Bajju Chiefdom has witnessed a whole lots of attacks that left hundreds of people dead and properties worth millions of naira destroyed.

The attacks on Kajju have received a lot of condemnation from different quarters, especially from government.  But yet, little or nothing has been done to stop or apprehend the perpetrators. We therefore call on government to prevail on all the security agencies to intensify intelligence gathering.

The presence of the military in Zonkwa has left many in doubt whether they are really there to protect lives and properties. This is so because of the frequent molestation and intimidation of innocent law abiding citizens. Therefore, we call on the military to concentrate on their primary assignment, if they must remain in Zonkwa or any part of southern Kaduna.

The recent attack in Madauchi, a suburb of Zonkwa, that left Six (6) members of the same family dead, including a heavily pregnant woman, with only one survivor (cripple), came at a time we all thought the security agencies are on top on of the situation.

As we condemn in strong terms the attacks on our land, we hereby states categorically as follows:-

  1. As law abiding citizens, we don’t intend to take the laws into our hands.

 

  1. We call on government,   through the security agencies to be more proactive to avert any further attack on our land.

 

  1. The perpetrators of this evil and ugly act be apprehended and brought to book.

 

  1. The reconciliatory  process embarked  upon by government to bring back to Zonkwa and other parts of the chiefdom, Hausa/Fulani who left on their own during and after the May 2011 post election violent in Kaduna State, is been truncated by the same Hausa/Fulani. Therefore, we shall not accept/allow/accommodate a person or group of persons on our land until the attacks have stopped.

 

  1. The molestation and intimidation of the people by the military must be stopped.

 

  1. The only survivor, a cripple, of the Madauchi attack has been rendered homeless, therefore, we call on government to urgently rehabilitate and provide accommodation for him.

 

  1. Failure of government to protect our lives and properties shall warrant us taking all available measures to prevent, protect and safeguard our communities from invaders.

In conclusion, we wish to use this medium to commiserate with the immediate family of the victims of Maudachi attack and the entire good people of Bajju Chiefdom.

Thank you and God bless.
