The Government of the United
States of America has again told the Federal Government of Nigeria to end the
killing of innocent citizens.
Speaking on the issue, the Deputy
Chief of Mission in the US embassy in Nigeria, David Young, reminded the
President Muhammadu Buhari government that life was sacred, regardless of
class, religion or occupation.
Young extended his country’s
condolences in Jos, the state capital, when he visited Governor Simon Lalong,
yesterday over the recent killings in Plateau State.
“Life is sacred, whether herdsmen
or farmers, Christian or Muslim or whatever ethnic (stock),” he said.
“The violence should be a major
concern to both the state and federal governments and must be addressed
adequately.
“There is the need to put in more
efforts toward ending this menace in the country,” he added.
He further said there was the
need for the promotion of interfaith and inter-ethnic dialogues to address
causes of violence.
