Northern elders have condemned yesterday’s disruption of peace summit and attack on participants at Arewa House in Kaduna State by some hoodlums believed to be sponsored.
The elders described the action as heartless considering that the summit organised by the Coalition of Northern Group was meant to address the insecurity plaguing the North and fashion out ways of restoring peace in the region.
Noting that the people attacked had converged to deliberate and find workable solution on the growing insecurity in the North, the elders operating under the aegis of Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and Development wondered why some people would want insecurity to persist in the North.
