Bukola Saraki, the Senate
President, has condemned the killings carried out by Fulani herdsmen in Benue
State.
The Senate President described
the incident as “a reprehensible act of violence,” which has no place in
Nigeria.
He said the senate would continue
to render all necessary support towards ensuring that perpetrators of such
“heinous killings” are brought to justice.
In a series of tweets via his
social media handle, Saraki wrote: “Tuesday’s heinous killings in Benue State
that has left countless families without their loved ones was a reprehensible
act of violence. As Nigerians, we must all remain united in our condemnation of
all such violence.
“I join all Nigerians in grieving
and praying for all that have been affected. Such actions have no place in
Nigeria. The perpetrators of this callous act must be caught and brought to
justice.
“The Senate will continue to
render all necessary support to ensure that this happens.
Recall that the State Governor,
Samuel Ortom had confirmed that at least 20 people were killed after suspected
Fulani herdsmen attacked communities in Guma and Logo local government areas of
the state between Monday and Tuesday, last week.
Ortom disclosed this while
briefing newsmen on Tuesday in Makurdi after the State security meeting.
