Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-rufai, has condemned the violence that led to the death of one person at the Ungwan Rimi area in Kaduna North Local Government Area of the Kaduna State on Monday evening.
The incident left many scampering for safety while vehicles and other property were torched in the process.
El-Rufai has consequently directed the state police command to arrest the culprits and make them face the full wrath of the law.
This was disclosed by the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Samuel Aruwan, on Tuesday.
The media aide quoted el-Rufai to have said: “The incident is condemnable and a threat to peace. We will not condone such act and we will explore all legal means at our disposal to punish all those involved without fear or favour.
“I have directed the Police to work hand-in-hand with the Ministry of Justice and bring to book all the culprits involved in this lawlessness and violence that took place.
“Anyone found guilty will not be spared, no matter how highly placed and powerful they are in the state or beyond. It is a demonstration of our resolution against harassing and intimidating the innocent with impunity throughout the length and breadth of Kaduna State.”
