The Atyap Community Development Association in Kaduna State has called for the release of 15 Atyap youths from police detention in Kafancha or they should be arraigned before the court accordingly.
According to the group, “Today, there are 15 Atyap youths under the detention of the police after they were tricked them into attending a meeting with the the security agents. They have been turtured and are kept under sub-human conditions in Kafanchan Police Station for the past three days.“It is surprising that not a single Fulani person is under any interrogation, talkless of detention despite having their hands soiled with blood.
“The Atyap nation has tried to remain silent in the face of many attrocities committed against her people and its land recently by armed Fulani militia. We had decided to do so because we believe that the initiative by our traditional leadership and that of ACDA for the safety and security of our people and every other groups in Atyap land will yield positive results.
“We are, therefore, putting it on record that should any violence happen to our community those who make the inciting false claims against us in their two separate press outings should be held responsible.
