“The latest report shows that over 130 people were killed, not even 60. We have the list and we will release it to the media. The affected communities have provided us with the names of those that were killed,” El-Rufai said.

 

El-Rufai said the killing was a deliberate plan to wipe out a certain community. He did not mention any sponsors of the attack.

The governor, who added that anybody questioning whether the attack took place or not is grossly irresponsible, assured that the perpetrators of the killings would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Also, Kaduna state police commissioner, Ahmad Abdulrahaman, said a total of 11 suspects have been arrested in connection with the killings.

According to Abdulrahman, “Initially we arrested eight people and additional three have been arrested. More facts are coming out. We want to do the needful before taken the suspects to court.”
