- Clears Gonin Gora Axis of Kaduna-Abuja Road
The Kaduna State Security Council has warned against blockage of public roads and harassment of innocent citizens by persons conducting protests.
In a statement overseeing Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State Samuel Aruwan said this follows the blockage of the Gonin Gora axis of the Kaduna-Abuja Road by some protesters on Thursday morning, in response to reports of a bandit attack in Unguwan Auta of Gonin Gora general area, Chikun LGA, thus denying commuters access through the route.
The Kaduna State Security Council hereby issues a stern warning against the obstruction of public roads and the harassment of innocent citizens by individuals partaking in protest activities.
Led by Commissioner Samuel Aruwan of the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, the Kaduna State Security Council, which comprises key stakeholders such as Commissioner of Police Audu Ali, Director of the Department of State Services Abdul Adamu Eneche, and Garrison Commander Brigadier General Muhammad Kana of the One Division Nigerian Army, along with other security forces, promptly intervened. They dismantled the roadblocks erected by protesters and restored access for motorists along the affected route.
During discussions with community leaders, members of the Security Council expressed grave concern over the recurring issue of road blockages, emphasizing that such actions violate the rights of citizens and travelers, as well as disrupt public services.
At present, we can confirm that the Gonin Gora axis of the Kaduna-Abuja Road is open for normal traffic flow, ensuring the unimpeded movement of citizens and motorists.
The Kaduna State Security Council urges all citizens to respect the law, exercise restraint, and employ lawful channels for the expression of grievances, ensuring the safety and well-being of all members of the public.
