Nigerian Government Providing Security For Our Attackers In Southern Kaduna, SOKAPU Alleges

President of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, Jonathan Asake, has said that security operatives deployed to secure communities in Southern Kaduna were providing cover for Fulani militia killing them.

He said the bandits were given unfettered access to traverse the communities to unleash terror on residents despite the 24-hour curfew put in place.

Asake, who spoke with SaharaReporters over the weekend, described the attacks as ‘conspiracy theory’ between the Fulani militia, Kaduna State and Nigerian governments to wipe out and eliminate their people from their land.

He faulted the attitude of security operatives towards the intelligence report given to them prior to the attacks by bandits during the Sallah break.


He said, “There was an intelligence report that was widely circulated, that they were going to strike after Sallah break. The members representing those areas in the National Assembly had a press conference where they raised this fear but government did not do anything. 

“Infact the governor came out and insulted the sensibility of Southern Kaduna people by calling our representatives ‘irresponsible’. 

“The security that is in Southern Kaduna is not there to protect the people that are being killed, the security there are to protect perpetrators.”

Asake explained that the locals knew and recognised many of the attackers by names but the security operatives have refused to arrest or prosecute them.

The former lawmaker condemned the arrest of some youths from Kibori Village by security agents on June 26, who went to their farms to get food for their families.

He also chided Governor Nasir el-Rufai for calling on residents living close to River Kaduna and other flood-prone areas to temporarily relocate to safer areas without providing alternative accommodation.

He added, “It is the responsibility of the government at this time of disaster to provide alternative places and support for people to be able to live their life until this crisis is over.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
