The rate of insecurity in Nigeria is increasing by the day, criminals such as bandits, terrorists, and others don’t have regard for the lives and properties of people. Another major cause of insecurity in Nigeria is the communal clash and tribal war, where fellow Nigerians fight for lands and properties. This type of communal and tribal clash has caused the loss of lives and properties of people across Nigeria.

According to statistics, in Kaduna State alone, the communal clash has resulted in the death of over 10,000 people and the loss of properties worth billions of Naira. The most frequently attacked area in Kaduna State is the Southern Kaduna, which is caused by a cycle of attacks, revenge, and reprisals. Although, the problem in Southern Kaduna is an evil combination of politically motivated banditry, revenge killings, and mutual violence by criminal gangs acting on ethnic and religious ground.

To understand that the problem of Southern Kaduna is filled with cycles of revenge and reprisals coupled with religion and ethnicity, there was an attack on settlements where houses were torched on Saturday night at Mado village, Mabushi in Atyap Chiefdom of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, resulting to the death of at least fourteen people. As a Nigerian who is conversant with the situation in Southern Kaduna, you will also wonder what could be the reason for the incessant attacks despite efforts at restoring peace by the State and Federal government.

After Mado village was attacked on Saturday night, a kind of reprisal attack was launched on a Fulani settlement this morning in Kankada, Madakiya District in Bajju Chiefdom of Zangon Kataf local government area, where their residents were completely burned down. To understand the situation of Southern Kaduna further, you need to know that in just a week, four villages in Atyap chiefdom have been attacked separately, where many people have lost their lives and properties worth millions of Naira were destroyed. These attacks are becoming too much in the area, the people of Southern Kaduna should embrace peace and stop killing themselves.
