The governor further announced two military formations would be established the Southern part of the state.
El-Rufai disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari, the Ministry of Defence and Chief of Army Staff had endorsed the request to site the military formations.
He said the proposed military formations would be in Fadan Karshi in Sanga and Kauru local government areas respectively to provide rapid response to acts of criminality.
Meanwhile, the state government has directed traditional rulers to caution their people against violence.
Deputy Governor, Barnabas Bala Bantex who represented El-rufai, said “I will like to assure our people that the present leadership in the state has no secret agenda of pursuing ethnic or religious agenda.
“The bandits killing people in southern Kaduna and states like Zamfara are not doing it based on religion. They are criminals”.
