After recurring violence that has led to the loss of lives and properties, the Atyap, Fulani and Hausa communities in Kaduna have agreed to live in peace.
The ethnic groups are in Zangon-Kataf local government area of the state where a three-month curfew was lifted 24 hours ago.
The peace agreement comes after many efforts to reconcile the ethnic groups failed.
At a reconciliation summit on Saturday, representatives of the ethnic groups agreed to forgive one another and assist security agencies with information that could lead to the arrest of trouble makers.
