Kaduna Crisis: Buhari arrives state, to meet traditional, religious leaders

President Muhammadu Buhari has on Tuesday arrived Kaduna State for a meeting with religious and traditional rulers in the state over the bloody crisis that rocked the state lately.

The President arrived the Nigerian Airforce Base (NAF), Kaduna around 10.10am in a presidential aircraft.

The President would be meeting with traditional rulers at the Murtala Square.

Among those meeting with the President are the Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, Archbishop of Kaduna Catholic Archdiocese, Most Reverend, Mathew Man-oso Ndagoso and Secretary General of the Jama’atul Nasril Islam (JNI), Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu.

Among other clerics  are Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kaduna State chapter, Bishop George Jonathan Dodo, founder of the Peace Revival and Reconciliation Foundation of Nigeria, Pastor Yohanna Y.D. Buru.

It would be recalled that while the dust raised by the crisis that erupted in Kasuwan Maganin in the Southern part was settling down, the killing of the Agom Adara, Maiwada Galadima at the weekend ignited another round of violence.

The traditional ruler was killed by kidnappers last weekend along Abuja-Kaduna highway.

The 24 -hour curfew imposed on the state following the crisis was only reviewed on Sunday to 6.am to 5.pm.

Details soon.
