Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Dambazau the interior minister has warned opinion and religious leaders against giving the crisis in Southern Kaduna a religious connotation.
Speaking on Tuesday, December 3, 2017, to the press, Dambazau, who is a retired general said that the crisis is between herdsmen and farmers.
He issued an official statement through Mr Ehisienmen Osaigbovo, his press secretary in which he urged Nigerians to refrain from making incendiary comments about the Kaduna crisis.
The retired general explained that due to their own personal gain and selfish interests, some people were always looking for ways to further create division along religious or ethnic lines.
He said: “Economic growth and development will remain a mirage for Nigeria, with over 500 ethnic groups and multiple religions, unless we resolve to live amicably as a people with common destiny. They aim at creating instability in the country."
