book wall of one David Ayuba, a member of the indigenous Community and Staff of Diamond Bank Plc, Abuja. 5. The attention of the Security Agencies particularly the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Zonwa in Kaduna State was drawn to all these to which he called an emergency meeting of the community stakeholders on the 18th of April, 2011 to discuss ways to avert an impending mayhem. However, before the meeting started, the indigenous youths who had a premeditated plan and information about the proposed meeting mounted illegal road blocks all over the town making it difficult for most of the stakeholders to get to the venue for the meeting. 6. All efforts by the stakeholders to dissuade the youths from mounting the illegal road blocks proved abortive. That while the meeting was on-going, one of the stakeholders received a phone call after which he exclaimed: “they are killing our people in Zaria and we are going to take revenge”. On hearing this, the meeting ended up abruptly. That the Divisional Police Officer of Zonkwa did not make any efforts afterwards to reinforce the security surveillance within and outside the community nor get his men to dislodge the indigenous youths who had mounted road blocks around the Community. 7. Consequently the youths in that vicinity set ablaze a lorry carrying farm yields which was parked beside the Mosque whereupon the mosque was also set ablaze. Shops suspected to be owned by Muslims in the Community were burnt down. The attack extended to the residents of Hausa/Fulani Muslims in which people were killed to the exclusion of women and children. Also, their houses, private and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, livestock, places of worship and Islamic schools were looted and burnt down. 8. That on the said 19th of April 2011, a house to house search was carried out killing any Muslim male found therein with the corpse set ablaze.
