President Muhammadu Buhari on
Tuesday said the killings in Zamfara State was more than the number of deaths
recorded in Plateau and Benue States put together.
He said it should not be seen to
be a religious crisis.
Buhari stated this after a
closed-door meeting with government officials, security agencies and
traditional leaders in Plateau State on the recent resurgence of killings that
claimed scores of people in parts of the State.
The President said having sought
to be president four times, “it is my responsibility to protect the lives and
properties of every Nigerian and I cannot run away from it.”
He commiserated with those who
lost their loved ones and stressed that anyone found with a weapon must be
arrested and prosecuted.
Buhari also appealed to the
people of Plateau State to bury their differences and work together for the
peace of the State.
The President condemned the
crisis and urged the leadership at every level to be awake to their
responsibility of driving the peace process.
In his remarks Governor Simon
Lalong said, “This current attack, Your Excellency Mr. President, is very
disturbing and alarming because it has left behind in its ugly trail the
painful loss of over 200 people, besides the humanitarian challenge confronting
thousands of displaced persons whose houses and crops have been burnt and completely
destroyed.
“Mr. President, your Government
has made it clear and you have eloquently stated that you will continue to
protect and preserve the sanctity of life. Agents of destabilization are,
however, hell bent on making nonsense of the success you have achieved in
dealing with internal security threats to our corporate existence as a Nation”,
he lamented.
“Our State is a beneficiary of
the several measures put in place; on your instruction, the Nigeria Police has
established a new Mobile Police Squadron in the Southern Zone of the State, and
the Nigeria Air Force has also established a Rescue Search and Combat Command
at Kerang in the Central Senatorial District of Plateau State all in bid to
activate crises response time of the Security.
“While we are looking forward to
the security gains that will emanate from this established security bases, we
have again been confronted with renewed attacks which have left us with
increased man-made humanitarian crises as a result of the condemnable and reprehensible
conducts of the haters of our peace and humanity.”
Evil men in power,what do you expect?But the anger of God is coming speedly on you.We shall soon see your end.God is angry.
