Plateau, Edo, Benue killings: Nigerians must not live in fear – Peter Obi to Tinubu govt

Former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi
has charged the Federal government and security agencies to ensure that
killings in the country are stopped and concrete steps are made to prevent
future occurrences.

 

Obi said the Nigerian government must ensure that citizens
do not live in fear but should be well protected.

 

He condemned the killings in Edo, Benue, Enugu, Borno,
Anambra, Ondo, and Plateau States.

 

Posting on X, the former presidential candidate decried the
killings in Bokkos area of Plateau State where five communities were left in
mourning.

 

According to Obi: “An unending gory story in our land.

 

“I woke up this morning reading about yet another gory and
deeply distressing report from Bokkos, Plateau State. Entire families have
again, been slaughtered in yet another senseless attack. Children and pregnant
women were not spared.

 

“Five communities in Bokkos: Mangor Tamiso, Daffo, Manguna,
Hurti, and Tadai have been left in mourning, forced to bury their loved ones in
mass graves.

 

“How long will these killings, kidnapping, maiming and
criminality continue in our nation that is not at war? How long must we wait to
act decisively and focus on this drastic situation that is crippling our
nation? How many more must die before the government act for the people?

 

“We are now normalizing mass killings and mass burials as a
way of life in our nation. Every Nigerian life is sacred, whether in Edo State,
Benue, Enugu, Borno, Anambra, Ondo, or Plateau.

 

“Communities now live in fear and no longer have a
livelihood either in their farms or in their markets, without being killed,
kidnapped, and maimed. Communities like Bokkos in Plateau, Jato-Aka in Benue,
Eha-Amufu in Enugu, Ufuma in Anambra, and Aba Oyinbo in Ondo deserve government
protection.

 

“We must end this grief and terror, as this is becoming
extremely unacceptable.

 

“The government and security agencies must ensure that these
killings are stopped, concrete steps are made to prevent future occurrences,
and those arrested face the justice they deserve.

 

“My heart goes to the people of Bokkos, and others in
various communities.

 

“No Nigerian should live in fear as the government must do
what it takes to protect Nigerians. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO”
