Sequel to the recurring attacks by herdsmen on innocent citizens, the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria, YOWICAN, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack all security chiefs who are not leaving up to their responsibility.
He urged the Federal Government to find a lasting solution to the incessant attacks by the herdsmen.
The call was made Thursday in Jos, by the National President of the YOWICAN, Engr. Daniel Kadzai, while reacting to incessant attacks on communities in the country, with the recent being Enugu.
Kadzai advised the Federal government not to take sides in trying to find a solution to the attacks.
“I want to totally condemn the attacks in Enugu State where innocent citizens were killed in cold blood without any provocation and we call on the Federal Government to take action and ensure the safety of lives of its citizens.
“President Muhammadu Buhari must take action on the issue and sack all those security chiefs, who are not responsible in their work; there are Police officers in all the villages of Nigeria and there is bad security reports, what is the Nigerian Immigration doing?
“It’s a known fact that Fulani herdsmen have unleashed terror on Nigerians for some time now and it seems the government institutions saddled with the responsibility of managing the situation have either compromised, taken side or weak in handling the issues.
“Looking at the level of damages done in Plateau, Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Enugu and some part of Nigeria by the fulani herdsmen, I expect the Federal Government to have taken decisive action long before now”, he lamented.
Kadzai advised the Federal government to address the issues of the Fulani herdsmen, just like the way the insurgency in the North-East was being handled.
On comments that the Fulani herdsmen perpetrating the crime were not from Nigeria, the cleric said, “If we don’t have Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria, why are some people calling for the grazing reserve bill to be passed by the National Assembly?, he asked.
