The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, has warned
terrorists troubling the Southern part of Kaduna State that their days are
numbered.
Irabor also restated the resolve of Nigeria’s military to
restore peace in Southern Kaduna.
He made this known in Kafanchan on Thursday during a peace
meeting with stakeholders involved in the Southern Kaduna crisis, NAN reports.
Southern Kaduna has become a hotbed of deadly attacks by
terrorists in recent months.
In some quarters in Southern Kaduna, over 100 persons were
killed following repeated attacks on several communities in the area.
Also, the terrorists recently attacked a train on the
Abuja-Kaduna route at about 7:43pm, the Nigerian Railway Corporation said 398
tickets were bought, saying that only 362 passengers were validated.
As a result, many condemned the spate of insecurity across
the country and called on the regime of President Muhammadu to take action to
mitigate further attacks by the terrorist groups.
“We are committed to ensuring that peace is restored in this
part of the country,” Irabor said.
“However, for those who do not want to heed to our appeal
for peace and who think that violence is what they need to unleash on us, I am
here to tell them that their days are numbered.
“If the peace in Southern Kaduna is disrupted, the peace in
Kaduna and indeed the peace in Nigeria will be disrupted because Kaduna is
central to the existence of Nigeria,” he stated.
“You can have all the personnel and equipment in the world,
if there is no willingness amongst the people to live in peace, it will count
for nothing.”
“So, we need to start looking at ways beyond military
deployment to solve this crisis.
“This is not something I have authority to make a decision
on, but I can assure you I will bring it up as a point during the national
Security Council meeting for further consideration,” he said.
