Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose,
has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for not arresting the Chairman, North
Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN,
Danladi Ciroma, after his claim that the killing of the 86 persons was in
retaliation to the death of over 300 cows in the last few weeks by the affected
villagers.
Recall that
Danladi Ciroma, was quoted as saying that, “These attacks are retaliatory. As
much as I don’t support the killing of human being, the truth must be told that
those who carried out the attacks must be on revenge mission.
“There have been recent reports
of cow rustling and destruction of farms between Berom farmers and Fulani
herdsmen. The people carrying out these criminal activities are well known to
the communities but the communities are hiding them.”
However, reacting, Fayose on
Twitter urged Buhari to deal with the ‘perpetrators of the evil act as
terrorists.’
He said, ”One question Nigerians
should be asking President Buhari is; has anyone been arrested for the killing
of over 200 people in Plateau.
”200 people killed in one day by
people said to be retaliating loss of cows is a national disaster that should
attract decisive actions not speeches.
”In saner climes, Presidents
don’t go to sleep when over 200 of their citizens, including children are
murdered,they take decisive actions to bring perpetrators to book and prevent
reoccurrence. But here in Nigeria, our president sees killing of over 200
people as two fighting.
”President Buhari, killings by
herdsmen is not Farmers/Herdsmen clash. It is not a case of two fighting.
Rather, it is terrorism. Deal with perpetrators as terrorists and you will see
these senseless killings coming to an end.”
