Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has identified religious and ethnic factors as the causes of violence in the southern part of Kaduna State, leading to attacks and killings in many communities. CNG, after an emergency meeting in Kaduna yesterday, set up three committees to interface with stakeholders to end the violence. The committees are Economic and Empowerment Committee chaired by Paul Wali, Political and Social Committee chaired by Bala Adamu, and Governance/Law Enforcement Committee chaired by Rev. “At the end of the follow-up meeting with relevant stakeholders from southern Kaduna, the participants unanimously resolved to set up an NGO for southern Kaduna that will promote peace, reconciliation and empowerment. “The meeting identified bad politics, economic realities and government actions as factors associated with the recurring crisis in the area,” he added.
