Herdsmen attacks: We are tired observing a minute silence – Ike Ekweremadu

The Deputy Senate president, Sen Ike Ekweremadu has said that the House is tired of observing a minute silence for people brutally murdered in incessant clashes across the country.
The DSP condemned the recent attacks and killings of innocent Nigerians by alleged Fulani herdsmen, noting that the ‘Nigerian Senate’ is tired of observing a minute silence for the dead.

DAILY POST reported last week that no fewer than 70 corpses of the victims of the recent attacks on Logo and Guma LGA of Benue State were given mass burial in Makurdi, the Benue state capital, while over 50 people were also reportedly killed in Taraba state.
Ekweremadu expressed his anger on the recent Benue and Taraba killings at today’s senate plenary, maintaining that Nigerians must have peace and security before thinking of infrastructure and development.
The Enugu Senator said, “The senate is not the only group or body concerned, Nigerians are also worried.
“We are tired of always observing a minute silence, we must have peace and security before even thinking of infrastructure and development in the Country.”
