A Forum under the aegis of Kaduna Scribes has dismissed recent reports by an online media suggesting that Southern Kaduna, particularly Kauru Local Government Area, has been neglected amid rising insecurity.
In a statement signed by its National Chairman, Comrade Ezekiel Gambo, and issued to newsmen on Friday, the group described the claims as “misleading and unfounded.”
It stressed that such reports fail to reflect the deliberate and proactive security measures being implemented by Governor Uba Sani’s administration.
While acknowledging that isolated security incidents continue to occur in parts of Kauru and other communities, Kaduna Scribes said portraying the situation as a result of government neglect constitutes a “gross distortion of facts” and a “flawed narrative.”
The forum emphasised that tackling insurgency and banditry is a complex task and noted that no credible leader, especially Governor Sani, would remain passive in the face of threats to peace and stability.
