Kajuru Killings: Kaduna CP Against El-Rufai’s Death Toll

Kaduna State Commissioner of Police (CP), Ahmad Abdulrahman, has said the figure of casaulties given by Governor Nasir El-Rufai in Kajuru killings was preempting police investigation into the crisis.

Governor El-Rufai had recently said 130 persons were killed in the crisis as against 66 he earlier announced on the eve of last Saturday’a postponed election.

However, speaking to newsmen, yesterday, CP Abdulrahman said, in such crisis situation, it was not proper to give figure of the dead until investigation is concluded.

He said: “I told the governor that figures during a crisis of this magnitude ought to be left unquoted till all investigations are over in all the areas. You cannot come up with a figure, otherwise you will quote a particular figure now and quote another later; this is what is happening now. As far as police is concerned, we are investigating. As we speak my men are still in the bush with humanitarian workers trying to actually found out the true position of things."
