The Interim Council Chairman of Jema’a Local Government, Kaduna State, Dr. Bege Katukah has expressed dissatisfaction with the level of security in communities attacked on Tuesday by herdsmen in Godogodo chiefdom.
The chairman, who visited the affected communities on Thursday, noted that in spite of the presence of policemen, there was need to deploy the military to secure the area.
Katukah regretted that there was no military presence yet in any of the communities even after much plea to the state government.
“The entire communities have been deserted, their houses had been burnt while properties including farms cultivated destroyed,” he said.
The chairman, who visited Godogodo, Angwan Ayu, Akwa and Gada Biyu villages, lamented over increasing level of impunity with which the perpetrators carry out their act.
He commended the police for repelling the attackers but said it was still important to properly safeguard the area.
