Southern Kaduna: Warring Ethnic Groups Agree To Cease-Fire

After years of perennial destructive fightings that consume lives and properties, the Atyap, Fulani and Hausa communities in Kaduna have sign a peace pact.

The ethnic groups are in Zangon-Kataf local government area of the state where a three-month curfew was lifted 24 hours ago.

The peace agreement comes after many efforts to foster rapprochement among ethnic groups failed.

At a reconciliation summit on Saturday, representatives of the ethnic groups agreed to bury their differences one another and assist security agencies with information that could lead to the arrest of trouble makers.

All parties were asked not to take laws into their hands but submit to the lawful authorities.

They also highlighted the importance of working out the modalities for the return of displaced persons and recommended the establishment of a standing peace committee with representatives from Hausa, Fulani and Atyap communities.
