As the mass killing in Barkin Ladi LGA of Plateau State on Saturday continues to spark public outrage, government have been tasked by all and sundry to take responsibility of securing lives and properties more seriously. Ex-Vice president Abubakar Atiku and Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose have also joined in lamenting the killing of over 100 people on Saturday night by suspected herdsmen in Plateau State.
According to Atiku, the People’s Democracy Party (PDP) presidential aspirate in the 2019 elections “we cannot be in continuous mode of bloodletting & mourning. Government needs to be alive to its primary responsibility of protection of lives and property.” He also sent his condolence to the people affected.
While on the other side, Ayodele Fayose asked the Federal Government “that claimed that anti grazing law made by some States caused the killings by herdsmen tell Nigerians what happened?”
See what they wrote via their respective Twitter handles:
Mindless killings in our country, we cannot be in continuous mode of bloodletting & mourning. Government needs to be alive to its primary responsibility of protection of lives and property. My heart goes to the victims of Barkin Ladi LGA of Plateau State
Today again, suspected herdsmen killed over 200 Nigerians in Plateau State.
I am not aware of any Anti Grazing Law in Plateau State. So can the FG that claimed that anti grazing law made by some States caused the killings by herdsmen tell Nigerians what happened?
