Nigerians are currently protesting at the United States Embassy in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja over the incessant killings in Southern Kaduna.
The protest came on the hills of the recent killings in Southern Kaduna as suspected Fulani militiamen had last week Friday, unleashed fresh attacks on Apiashyim, Kibori, Atakmawei, Apyiako, and Magamiya villages in the area.
Reacting over the killings, protesters took to the streets of Kaduna, Lagos and Abuja on Saturday morning to protest over what they described as “genocide” taking place in the southern part of Kaduna State and the government’s inability to stop the killings.
Not yet satisfied with what the government is doing to stop the incessant killings, Nigerians, today, 15th of August, 2020, organised another protest, asking the international community to stop pretend of what is really happening in Southern Kaduna.
One of the organisers, Henry Shield who took to his social media account, while sharing some photos from the protest call on the International Community not to turn a blind eye on the Southern Kaduna killings.
“The international community will no longer pretend that it is not seeing the bloodshed.
#SouthernKadunaGenocide must be addressed on the floor of the @UNGeneral Assembly.

Meanwhile, The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria has said the only way for peace to reign in Southern Kaduna is for government to execute Major General Zamani Lekwot (retd.) and other leaders sentenced to death over the Zango-Kataf riot in 1992, ThePunch reports.
The SCSN’s Secretary, AbdulRahman Hassan, who stated this at a press conference in Kaduna on Thursday, said government’s failure to execute Lekwot and others sentenced to death over the riot was responsible for the persistent attacks in Southern Kaduna.
Lekwot, Major James Kude(retd) and others were sentenced to death for their involvement in the Zango-Kataf riot that claimed several lives in 1992 under the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida (retd.).
