Stop the killings, fish out those who arm Fulani herdsmen – APC demands

The South-East caucus of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called for an end to the wanton killings of innocent Nigerians and destruction of villages and farmlands by suspected Fulani herdsmen as well as reprisals attacks.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday and signed by the spokesman of the South East APC, Osita Okechukwu, the party warned that the massacre, which was first recorded in Agatu and recently in Enugu, must stop forthwith.

While commiserating with those who lost loved ones in the attacks, the statement called for calm, assuring that President Muhammadu Buhari is bent on putting a stop to the killings as well as identifying those who arm the marauders.

According to Okechukwu, “It is painful that while the Federal Government of Nigeria is doing everything possible to contain the Boko Haram insurgency; another virus in the name of Herdsmen is dislocating the security architecture of our dear country. Yesterday it was Agatu in Benue State; today it is Ukpabio Nimbo in Enugu State. It must stop.

“May we use this opportunity to deeply commiserate with the families of the bereaved; in particular the people and government of Benue and Enugu States. God in his infinite mercy will surely heal the wounds.

“In sum, we appeal for calm and urge all to take solace on the truism that the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is quietly working round the clock to stop the bloodletting, fish out the culprits and the masterminds who equip the Herdsmen with sophisticated weapons.”
