The Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai is seeking support from Traditional Rulers over the recent killings in the southern part of the state.

The governor disclosed this during a meeting on Tuesday with Traditional Rulers from the three senatorial zones.

The meeting comes shortly after four Local Government Areas have been under attack by suspected militias, where many lives were lost, many injured and several others displaced from their homes.

The major point of discussion at this particular meeting centers on the lingering security situation in southern Kaduna and other parts of the state where many lives have been lost due to activities of suspected bandits and ethnic militia, as well as the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic in the state.

He however stressed the need for all hands to be on neck towards bringing lasting peace to the troubled area and other parts of the state, while also challenging the traditional rulers to fish out criminal elements in their midst.

The meeting later went into a closed-door session where the traditional rulers are expected to brainstorm and engage themselves in frank discussions and thereafter come up with recommendations to government.
