Nigerian Singer and Kennis Music signee, Joel Amadi has disclosed that his father has been shot dead by herdsmen in the ongoing crisis in Southern Kaduna.
The musician had earlier taken to social media to raise an alarm
that his native town of Zikpak, Kafachan was under siege by armed men who were
burning down houses and had reported his father was missing.
He had called on the governor, El Rufia to engage the necessary armed forces to
combat the ongoing violence.
“Killing is going on in my father’s village Zikpak, Kafanchan
and my Dad have been missing including other villagers are missing and houses
are being burnt yet no help. Please repost this till it gets to the governor
@elrufai of Kaduna state and the necessary armed forces of Nigeria,” he wrote
on Instagram.
A few hours ago, he took to Twitter to give an update, revealing that his
father had been shot dead by herdsmen and his mother and sisters couldn’t even
talk to him over the phone.
Joel Amadi urged the governor to do more in abating the reckless killings
perpetrated by evil people noting that not enough had been done to put a stop
to it.
He wrote: “It’s just been confirmed that my lovely Dad is dead-shot by herdsmen
and my mom and sisters can’t even talk to me on phone please tag @elrufai he
needs to know that he is not doing enough to curb the state of terrorism in
Kaduna state.
