     The National Peace Committee chaired by former Head of State, General AbdusalamiAbubakar, has appealed to all aggrieved parties affected in the violent attacks in Southern Kaduna, North West Nigeria, to sheathe their swords and tolerate each other for the interest of peace in the state.

    General Abubakar made the appeal when he led other members of the committee to a meeting with Governor Nasir El-Rufai at the Government House, in Kaduna.
   While expressing concern about the killing of innocent people in Southern Kaduna by suspected herdsmen, the Committee warned religious, political and traditional rulers against making inflammatory statements that would worsen the situation.
   Addressing journalists after the meeting, the Chairman of the National Peace Committee and former Head of State, General AbdulsalamiAbubakar, noted that only a genuine reconciliation between the natives and Fulani’ would bring the crisis to an end.
   General Abubakar commended the Kaduna State government and security agencies for their effort in restoring normalcy in the affected communities and advised the people to refrain from taking laws into their hands.
