“The Security Council also reviewed the security situation in Birnin Gwari, Southern Kaduna, Kaduna-Abuja Road and Zaria-Kubau-Giwa axis. Further means of enhancing security in the areas were discussed and actions recommended for prompt implementation.
“The Security Council further deliberated on the massive circulation of disturbing images of dead bodies, and injured victims, arising from recent violence that erupted in Kajuru Local Government Area of the State by mischievous persons, who are appealing for reprisals.
“It is clear, that those circulating these inciting images are hell- bent on deepening the unfortunate incidence that occurred last month.
