Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, has condemned the “unlawful eviction” of herders across the country, stating that every citizen reserves the right to choose where to reside.
His comments comes amid calls for herders to leave some parts of the country, over concerns related to insecurity.
“On behalf of the Government of Kaduna State, I call on all Nigerians living in our State to respect law and order and the rights of all citizens to live in peace and security wherever they reside or work. I appeal to my colleagues governing other States in our country to make similar statements, and disavow these attacks and massacres,” he said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
