In a heartfelt statement, Senator Katung expressed deep sorrow over the brutal assaults that have plagued the Kugauta community of Kusheka, Kumana Chiefdom, and the Kitanda community of Geshere, Kumana Chiefdom in Kauru Local Government Area.

The senator emphasized the urgent need to put an end to these senseless acts of criminality that have brought immense suffering to the innocent people of Southern Kaduna. He cited Section 14(2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, which mandates the government to prioritize the security and welfare of its citizens.
Community Collaboration and Security Measures
Senator Katung is committed to working closely with the Kaduna State Government and the Chief of Defence Staff to establish a Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Kauru local government and other affected communities. This strategic move aims to bolster security measures and combat the perpetrators behind these violent incidents.
Additionally, the senator has called upon the residents of Southern Kaduna to join forces with security agencies by providing crucial information that could lead to the apprehension of the criminals and their collaborators. This collaborative effort is essential in safeguarding the lives and well-being of the local population, ensuring a safer and more secure environment for all.
As the community grapples with the aftermath of these harrowing events, Senator Katung remains resolute in his dedication to protecting the lives of his constituents. His unwavering commitment to upholding the safety and security of every citizen underscores the pressing need for swift and decisive action to address the escalating security challenges in Southern Kaduna.
In conclusion, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung’s impassioned plea for unity and vigilance serves as a rallying cry for solidarity in the face of adversity. By standing together and supporting one another, the resilient communities of Southern Kaduna can overcome these trying times and emerge stronger, united in their resolve to build a brighter and safer future for generations to come.
