Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police( IG), has disagreed with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), on the number of people killed in the southern Kaduna crisis.
The Catholic archdiocese of Kafanchan had alleged that the unrest in the area had claimed over 808 lives in 53 villages in the area.
But Idris disputed the claim during a New Year dinner, which the Nigeria police force organised for its personnel on Sunday.
He emphasised on the need for religious, community and political leaders to be patriotic in their endeavors.

He said Nigerians had no other country than Nigeria, hence the need to do those things that would bring peace and unity to the country.
Idris advised Nigerians to live in peace with one another in spite of religious and ethic differences.
