Co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Campaign Dr Oby Ezekwesili has called on security agencies to proffer solutions that would put an end to killings in Nigeria.
The former minister of Education was reacting to the killing of 86 people in the Church of Christ In Nations (COClN) and Regional Church Council (RCC), in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Plateau state.
In a post on her Twitter page, she urged President Muhammadu Buhari to give directives to security agencies to deal with perpetrators of the dastardly act.
Ezekwesili said: “Is the Plateau situation under control? It is very distressing to read some of the news coming out of the State. I hope the Police is on top of the situation and that the commander in Chief is briefed and directing.
“We really must end this wasting of the lives of our citizens.How can these killings happen without consequences? Our hearts are heavy and broken over these killings. When will it stop? 201 lives reported lost, are we in a war?” Buhari you must respond with action for them.
“Fellow Nigerians! I decided it is better to scream. Silence is the real crime against humanity, we must speak up for the people of Plateau. Every one of us who believe in Humanity must ask our president to act as C-I-C to protect an secure his people.
“Toddler, youth, the old, boys, girls, women, and men were killed with impunity in their communities, This is criminal to not address this is unjust.
“Have you seen some of the pictures &video clips coming out of Jos, Plateau State? Have you seen our fellow citizens being massacred? Have we lost our outrage for evil? Has evil become our norm? Our President @Buhari must account for the dead.
“No Leader can survive the normalizing of killings of his citizens. Buhari it is not normal for your Citizens to be being butchered while the Nigerian-State that you lead watches on or is distracted with other priorities. It is life first, Mr. President.
“A leader will not allow killings of his people without consequences. It is abnormality for a people to not value the Lives of their fellow human beings. Give justice to the nearly 200 dead in Plateau. Do it now!!!”
