Kaduna State governor, Nasir El- Rufai has said that over 130 persons and not 60 were killed in Kajuru village in the last week attack in the area.
El-Rufai had earlier claimed that 60 persons were killed in the attack but was faulted by the state chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria, which accused him of exaggerating the number of casualties to incite crisis in the state ahead the February 16 presidential election.
The election was later postponed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
But speaking with State House reporters after a Security Council meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Villa on Tuesday, El-Rufai claimed that over 130 persons died during the attack in the state last week.
The governor claimed that the killing was a deliberate plan to wipe out a certain community, and maintained that anybody questioning whether the attack took place or not, was grossly irresponsible.
He said, “The latest report shows that over 130 people were killed, not even 60. We have the list and we will release it to the media. The affected communities have provided us with the names of those that were killed.”
The governor promised that those behind the killings would be made to face the full wrath of the law.
