El-Rufa’s disclosed this in a statement signed on Monday after meeting with the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev Supo Ayokunle, and other CAN officials of Kaduna state.
The statement titled, Let Us Unite to Build a Consistency for Peace in Kaduna State’ which party read, “Since last month, the state government and security agencies have been working round the clock to bring the situation under control in most part of the state. We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives in a totally unnecessary frenzy of communal attack, reprisals, and revenge.
“While we mourn the dead, our immediate focus remains to stop the cycle of attacks and reprisals. We remain committed to ending the legacy of violence that has blighted the state for 40 years, needlessly taken many lives, and curtailed the life chances of others.
“We will continue to support the security agencies to restore calm in the affected communities. Over the last five years, we have invested heavily in the security sector. We have consistently provided vehicles and other logistics support to the security agencies that are deployed in the state.
“We are also addressing the technology side of security, through the procurement of drones, the award of contracts to install CCTVs in phases in Kaduna, Kafanchan and Zaria metropolitan areas, build a command and control center and establish a forensic laboratory.”
