The forthcoming general election schedule for February 2019 has begun to raise serious anxiety in some part of Kaduna following a political crisis that ensured last week in some part of Kaduna, which claimed many lives and several people sustaining various degrees of injury.
Although the immediate cause of violence could not be ascertained, sources said the violence started as a result of disagreement among the supporters of two opposing politicians in the area, who were believed to also be in opposing religious groups.
It was gathered that the crisis claimed many lives and left several injured just as property were destroyed.
A young man who was identified as Mr. Osazuwa Ehigiator Paul was among the few that were lucky to have survived the deadly attack.
Although the crisis was said to have started as a pure political crisis, it was gathered that it eventually had religious attachment as many Christians were claimed to be attacked by suspected Muslim fanatics.
This happened just as many Christian in the area are preparing for a befitting Christmas celebration.
Although Paul sustained an injury in his head while the hoodlums were trying to destroy his house, it was gathered that he managed to escape lynching through the help of a respected influential man in the area and flee to Southern part of the country. Unfortunately, his brother identify as Eromosele was said to be among those that were killed during the incident.
Sources also said those who managed to escape from the area may not return anytime soon as there is an indication that the hoodlums are still looking out for some of those that managed to escape from the attack.
It was also gathered that some of the hoodlums traced Paul to the Southern part of the country but nobody knows whether he was caught or not.
