It added that residents should be able to travel and carry out their lawful activities without fear for their lives.

Association Calls for Urgent Security Measures

The youth body called on the Kaduna State Government, Kauru Local Government Council, Kaduna State Police Command and other relevant security agencies to take immediate steps to prevent further attacks and protect vulnerable communities.

It urged the authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, identify those responsible and ensure that anyone found culpable is prosecuted in accordance with the law.

The Association also called for increased security personnel and patrols along vulnerable roads, market routes and surrounding communities.

It further appealed for urgent medical and humanitarian assistance for the six injured youths, who were reported to be in critical condition, as well as support for their families and the family of the deceased.

Other measures proposed by the Association include improved intelligence-sharing, effective early-warning systems and stronger collaboration between security agencies, traditional rulers, community leaders and youth representatives.

According to the statement, coordinated action is necessary to prevent further loss of life and restore residents’ confidence in their safety.

Association Urges Youths to Remain Calm

While demanding justice for the victims, the Association appealed to Surubu (Kuvori) youths and the wider community to remain calm, united and vigilant.

Solomon urged residents to avoid retaliation, refrain from spreading unverified information and report credible security threats to the appropriate authorities.

He stressed that justice should be pursued through lawful means, warning against collective blame or reprisals against innocent individuals.

The Association reaffirmed its commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence, responsible youth engagement and constructive collaboration with government institutions and security agencies.
