I, Rt Honourable Yakubu Umar Barde, Member of House of Representatives representing Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, wish to appeal to all my constituents and indeed all of the good people and residents of Kaduna State and environs to embrace peace and be each others keepers following the unfortunate incidence of senseless loss of lives and properties and injuries in Kasuwan Magani, Sabon Tasha, Narayi and other parts of Kaduna State.
I am using this opportunity to commiserate with those who lost relations, friends and associates. May the souls of innocent victims who lost their lives rest in peace and may those who sustained injuries be healed.
I call on all security agencies to intensify efforts in tracking, apprehending and bringing to justice the murderers who killed some of the aides of Agom Adara and made away with the respected tradirional head of Adara kingdom and his beloved wife.
As we pray for the repose of the souls of the departed and healing for the injured, I urge residents and indigenes of Chikun, Kajuru and indeed Kaduna State whom I know to be peace loving to not allow this unfortunate incidence to provoke us to breaking laws. I am in touch with His Excellency The Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El Rufai and he has assured me that government is ontop of the situation and will do everything within the law to protect lives and property of all citizens who abide by the law.
May God guide and protect us all.
Long live Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency.
Long live Kaduna state
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Signed
Honourable Umar Barde
Minority Whip and Member Representing Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, House of Representatives
