FRIDAY OLOKORThe people of Southern Kaduna in Kaduna State are studying the Western Nigeria Security Network, also known as Operation Amotekun, to develop their own community vigilante system to protect residents from suspected Fulani bandits. The President of the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union and former member of the House of Representatives, Jonathan Asake, stated this during an interview with Sunday Punch. Asake said no fewer than 35 persons had been killed, 10 communities sacked and about 115 abducted during a serial attack by the bandits which commenced on January 6. These are all native Gbagyi communities and are essentially Christian villages. In just three days, all these communities were sacked and 58 persons were kidnapped in one fell swoop.
