President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the fresh massacre
in Niger Republic.
Buhari on Friday raised the alarm that terrorism is
spreading and surpassing imaginations.
About 69 people in Niger were murdered by insurgents on the
country’s common border with Mali and Burkina Fasso.
Buhari assured that Nigeria would continue to support
neighbours in the efforts to fight terrorism.
In a statement by his Spokesman, Garba Shehu, he said the
callous attack on innocent people, including a mayor, was a disturbing setback.
The Nigerian leader regretted how terrorist activities have
caused “massive destructions in our countries.”
“We (African leaders) must leave no stone unturned to
frustrate and defeat these common enemies of humanity.
”Terrorism shouldn’t be treated as a localised security
threat, because it’s spreading its tentacles far beyond our imaginations.”
Buhari said it’s high time nations pulled resources and
efforts together to defeat criminals creating serious social and economic
disruptions.
Mr. Garba, why do you think these killers are not bandits. You call them terrorists outside Nigeria but bandits in Nigeria. Such double speak is what is keeping Nigeria backwards.
