NANS condemns Plateau killings, commiserates with Nigerians
condemned the latest killing by suspected Fulani herdsmen in some
communities in Plateau State.
DAILY POST reports that some suspected herdsmen killed over 86 persons
during an attack on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of
Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau
State, over the weekend.
The National Public Relations Officer of the association, Mr Bestman
Okereafor, made the condemnation in a statement in Enugu.
The association condoled with the affected families and urged the
Federal Government to address the issue of killings in the country.
"With great sadness, the leadership of NANS joins the world and fellow
Nigerians in condemning the gruesome murder in some states of the
federation, especially the most recent killings in Plateau State by
suspected herdsmen.
The association, however, noted with concern that such killing had
continued despite of its repeated appeals to the problem.
"NANS is appealing to Mr President to stand by his promise of
protecting human rights and fighting human rights abuses, " Okoroafaor
said.
