SOKAPU Urges Tinubu to Address Displacement in Kaduna

The Southern Kaduna Peoples’ United-Associations (SOKAPU) has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kaduna state governor Uba Sani to prioritize the security of rural communities and the resettlement of displaced persons before their visit to Kaduna state on October 24, 2026. In a statement signed by national president Comrade Tabara Samuel Kato, SOKAPU welcomed the planned visit for the flag-off of national and state initiatives.

The association acknowledged government efforts to address development challenges, including military installations and educational institutions. However, SOKAPU warned that peace remains fragile in rural Southern Kaduna, with ongoing attacks and some residents still in captivity.

The group outlined three major demands: comprehensive resettlement of displaced persons, protection for farming communities, and justice for victims of violence. SOKAPU called for expedited implementation of the resettlement committee’s mandate and urged security agencies to enhance military patrols around agricultural areas during the harvest season.
