Nigerian Singer and Kennis Music signee, Joel Amadi has disclosed that his father has been shot dead by herdsmen in the ongoing crisis in Southern Kaduna.
The musician had earlier taken to social media to raise an alarm that his native town of Zikpak, Kafachan was under siege by armed men who were burning down houses and had reported his father was missing.
He had called on the governor, El Rufia to engage the necessary armed forces to combat the ongoing violence.
“Killing is going on in my father’s village Zikpak, Kafanchan and my Dad have been missing including other villagers are missing and houses are being burnt yet no help. Please repost this till it gets to the governor @elrufai of Kaduna state and the necessary armed forces of Nigeria,” he wrote on Instagram.
