Results showed that 46% of the participants witnessed LV and described the incidents as "very serious" or "somewhat serious" while 65% of them reported observing frequent LV among their fellow workers.

The history of Kadarko Chiefdom dates back to 2004 when it was created with the recommendation of the Emir of Zazzau and confirmed in the Plateau Peace Conference and the conflict that was there before came to an end. However, the creation and existence of the chiefdom has been widely opposed especially by the Hausa and Fulani due to the fact that they felt the creation of the Kardoka Chiefdom will be done by hiving part of their Chiefdoms to create that one a fact that would reduce allocation of resources to the region (Universal Reporters, 2013)
