“We call on our people not to take laws into their own hands but to allow government and security agencies deal with the issues.

“We call on the government and the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity are apprehended and brought to book.

“We commend the governor of Kaduna state, the security agencies for visiting the areas to see for themselves the level of destruction of human lives and property perpetuated by these criminals," he said.

The secretary said the association would continue to work with all stakeholders and peace loving people to ensure that the people of the area reconciled with one another.
