The Kaduna State Government on Thursday said it has received a formal complaint from Kurdan community of Zangon Kataf local government, stating that no settlement was burnt in the community as reported by security agencies.
According to the state Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, the complaint was submitted by Warrant Officer Danjuma Yaro (retd) President of the community’s development association.
He said the information was conveyed to security agencies for further checks and it was found to be an oversight; residents of the household deserted the location following tension in the general area, but the settlement was not burnt.
Aruwan said security agencies, while confirming the oversight on Kurdan community, have already submitted pictorial and video records of locations torched by hoodlums, excluding Kurdan community.
He said it is important to further clarify that in no instance did security agencies confirm complicity of members of the community, as is being peddled in some quarters to deliberately personalize the oversight.
He said this feedback has been communicated to the leader of the development association.
