El-Rufai noted that the time has come for instigators of violence in the state to face prosecution.
He said: “Since 1980, about 10,000 to 20,000 were killed in Kaduna state during crisis and government did not prosecute anybody. We are determined to end the killings in Kaduna.
“Henceforth, the law will fully apply without fear or favour. We have made some arrests and you will be shocked to see the calibre of perpetrators that we are going to arrest and prosecute.
“No matter highly [placed] the person is we will bring him or her to face the full wrath of the law to serve as deterrent to others whom may want to sponsor crisis. Some of the things you are hearing are not true. Some people have made up their minds to spread hatred and falsehood especially in the media.”
Meanwhile, the National Secretary-General of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu Kure has called on the federal government to create a new state for the southern Kaduna people.
The call, Kure said, was in bid to avoid further violent upheavals between militant Fulani herdsmen and natives in southern Kaduna.
