Half naked women protesting over killings in Southern Kaduna when Governor Yero visited |
"We are not docile, we
are documenting everything, the senator is only bothered about her re-election
like the governor, the same for all the politicians. And the world will hear
us, they are killing us like animals and none of them can raise a voice because
of vested interests,” a concerned resident said.
Months after his inability to
visit murder sites in the troubled Southern Kaduna region of Kaduna state,
Governor Mukhtar Yero finally surfaced in the ‘killing field’ today, while
angry women protested, naked, against the governor's negligence and poor
leadership.
An indigene of Sanga local
government, residing in the United States, Barrister Sunday Ugah, who
is presently in Nigeria, sent our New York office pictures and details of the
governor’s visit to Fadan Karshi, where terrorists killed over 40 persons last
week.
Ugah said all attempts by some prominent
politicians to dampen the protest fell on deaf ears as the women said the
governor was on a political campaign and not making condolence visits.
His e-mail read “It is absolute nonsense
that, since March to date, about 1000 people have been killed in Southern
Kaduna. [The governor] never came until today, in the name of last week
killings, but we all know it is for political reasons. He came in company of
hundreds of security personnel. We have no business with his politics, but we
will speak in the ballot."

“Over 200 were killed in March in
Kaura local government, he refused to go there. The same thing happened in June
here in Sanga, over 200 were killed. Our parents protested almost naked and we
told him he is not a leader but a combination of deceit and lies."
“Next month we will take our case
to Chatham House in London, where we will address the world of the genocide
going on in our villages, and how representatives from the Senate down to state
assembly have failed us completely."
"We are not docile, we are
documenting everything, the senator is only bothered about her re-election like
the governor, the same for all the politicians. And the world will hear us,
they are killing us like animals and none of them can raise a voice because of
vested interests.”
