Senate Rejects Report On Southern Kaduna Crisis

The Senate on Tuesday, rejected the report of its Ad Hoc Committee on Southern Kaduna crisis over non- reflection of details and serious issues affecting the area. The report was also turned down because it did not cover similar crises in other parts of the country as the committee was mandated. The committee was mandated to cover all the states in the country, especially Zamfara, Kaduna, Benue, Enugu, Abia, Taraba, Nasarawa, Delta, Edo and Kano, that had recorded clashes. But the committee visited only Kaduna and Zamfara. The rejection came after the presentation of the report by Chairman of the committee, Sen. Kabiru Gaya, at plenary. Gaya had told the senators that the committee recommended that those found wanting in the Kaduna crisis should be brought to book and that victims deserving compensation should be paid.
