Reacting to the venom spewed yesterday by the Media Aid to the president, Garba Shehu, against the people of Southern Kaduna regarding the ongoing killings in the zone. The former lawmaker (2015-2019), Barr. Sunday Marshal Katung, a Southern Kaduna Patriot took a swipe on Shehu and put the record straight.
Saying, the Media Aid to the president My attention has been drawn to the Presidency’s Press Statement dated 21 July,2020 on the spate of attacks and killings  in Southern Kaduna which was  signed by Mallam Garba Shehu, a Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity.
The Presidency insinuates that the killings of its citizens, (the people the President swore to protect) by bandits is a “revenge”. One would have ignored this deliberate plan at cover up of the heinous atrocities meted systematically on Southern Kaduna people but the insensitivity and factual inaccuracies which have been repeated many times, especially at the Presidency level lend themselves to an urgency to put the facts straight and square to avoid a misleading of citizens and the international community moreso as the words of the president are deemed declaratory. 
First, the Presidency must accept  that it has  failed woefully in its primary duty of  protection of  lives and properties. Sadly, it is also failing to demonstrate empathy  as a  basic instinct required in the art of governance especially in troubled times. 
The citizens in Southern Kaduna in particular and other parts of the country whose lives have been cut short and who did not have to die  deserve the President’s empathy and  acknowledgement  for gross failing and not an attempt to cover up the atrocities of the killers through the spinning of conspiracy theories or statements that appear to justify criminality. The Presidency’s statement is most unfortunate  under a democratic dispensation that should hold and fulfill the promise of how inviolable and sacred human life is . 
The recent past has shown a consistent  attempt by official quarters at situating the narrative of the  attacks by marauders on defenseless citizens as  ‘ethnic’, ‘religious’ and now as ‘reprisals’ without evidential basis. Quite clearly this has trivialized  attacks that show a pattern and system that lend themselves to genocidal descriptions. 
 It is high time the government deviates from this path and deploy security and justice machineries to arrest and prosecute those behind the killings and insecurity  in Southern Kaduna as a measure to enforce civility and to permanently secure the lives of the people.
The deliberate attempt by the Presidency to cover up the atrocities on the people of Southern Kaduna, is most unfortunate, stands condemned in the strongest terms and must stop forthwith.
For the Presidency to conclude that “the problem in Southern Kaduna is an evil combination of politically-motivated banditry, revenge killings and mutual violence by criminal gangs acting on ethnic and religious grounds,” suggests that the killers of their citizens are not unknown.
It is disturbing and unimaginable that despite the “comprehensive security deployments, including the Army, Special Forces of both the Army and the Air Force, surveillance aircrafts by the Air Force and mobile police units that are on the ground on a 24-hour basis to forestall criminality and keep the peace” as alluded to  by the Presidency,  that these bandits still carry out the  killings without  the state’s resistance. How would the government explain the killings in Zangon Kataf during a state government imposed 24-hour curfew? 
Garba Shehu and his co-travelers need not  be reminded that the first duty of every president is the security and protection of the citizens of the country irrespective of their inclination. It is, indeed, the whole duty of the president. The Presidency must know that one of the indicators of a failed state is the failure of the government to provide security.
 I appeal to the people in Southern Kaduna to exercise restraint, be law abiding and  cooperate with security agencies. I urge  Mr. President  to rise up to his code of honour and  the oath he swore to protect the lives of the people in Southern Kaduna because Southern Kaduna lives matter.

    The statement from the presidency by Garba Shehu is very unfortunate, and a lie from the pit of hell. This is an evidence that there is grand plan to erase the people of Southern Kaduna. But God is on the throne.
