The Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari for his silence in the
face of the massive killings perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen.
Addressing journalists at Iwo in
Osun State over the weekend, CAN President, Samson Ayokunle these herdsmen have
thrown many families into sorrow and hunger due to the killings of their
breadwinners and the destruction of farms.
Ayokunle said, “On the issue of
herdsmen killing all over the country, the President has never done anything
tangible and convincing about them.
“The herdsmen have been ravaging
and sacking communities with reckless abandon. It appears that they are above
the law. This is quite unfortunate. This administration must address that.
“These herdsmen have stopped the
drums in many homes. Many homes are in sorrow and agony because their
breadwinners have been massacred without anybody arresting their killers.
“I just came from Ancha village
in Plateau State, where we had to do a mass burial for 19 people killed by
these herdsmen.
“Up till now, no government
official has visited that place. No action has been taken against these
marauding herdsmen.
“Why? If the President is
focusing on Boko Haram in the North-East but has not done anything against the
killer herdsmen, that is unfortunate, especially when we know that these Fulani
herdsmen are from his ethnic clan. He needs to act fast on these herdsmen.”
