Following the incessant killings in Kaduna state, women in Southern Kaduna, have embarked on a nude protest.

Southern Kaduna, a region majorly occupied by Christians, has witnessed more ethno-religious violence than any region in Nigeria’s North.

Last Sunday, 16 people were reportedly killed in an attack by yet to be apprehended gunmen.

The killings have continued despite the deployment of military personnel to the area.

It would be recalled that a Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Tuesday said revenge killings were worsening the security problems in Southern Kaduna State.

He further disclosed that the problem of insecurity in Southern Kaduna State was more complicated than many people were willing to admit.

It would be recalled that communities in Zango Kataf local government area have been under a series of attack leading to killings of innocent people.

Following the crisis, killings and destruction of properties in the troubled area, Kaduna State government had imposed curfew in the area.

The protesting women said, they are calling on relevant stakeholders, government, security agencies and the international community to come to their aides and save them from further killings and destruction of their properties.

“We are also calling on the government to assist us in going back to our farms which is our major source of income, but above all to help stop the killings and bring the perpetrators to book.”
