The Fulani Jihadists have obviously resumed hostilities in Southern Kaduna — Steven Kefas (@SKefason) January 4, 2024 With world attention drawn to the Plateau massacres, Jihadists have chosen to divert attention by activating their Southern Kaduna command, leaving more than 40 Christians massacred over the past 24hrs.

With the public attention now on Plateau State, terrorists seem to have shifted to Southern Kaduna where they are successfully carrying out piece-meal attacks which they hope won’t catch public attention.

The Nigerian state, through the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, must now be forced to declare this an act of terror, according to Section 3 of Nigeria’s Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act of 2022.
