Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to
attack the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, launched against foreign media
for allegedly not paying attention to the killings by Fulani herdsmen in
Nigeria.
The former Minister while
agreeing with IPOB said that foreign media’s poor coverage of the killings by
herdsmen was a shame.
In a tweet via his social media
handle, on Thursday, the Peoples Democratic Party’s Chieftain wondered if
foreign media value at all the lives of Nigerians.
He tweeted, “I join IPOB in
condemning @CNN, @BBCWorld and @AJEnglish for turning a blind eye to the
genocide and ethnic cleansing that the Fulani terrorists and herdsmen have
unleashed on Nigerians. Do Nigerian lives not matter? Is Nigerian blood not
red? Are we not human beings too? Shame!”
IPOB had on Wednesday accused the
British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, Cable Network News, CNN, Al Jazeera and
other foreign media of conspiracy of silence in the reportage of killings by
herdsmen in most Nigerian communities.
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra group had also blamed the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for taking the continuous killings of the
Fulani herdsmen as normal.
IPOB maintained that the media
houses’ under reportage of the killings was part of the international
conspiracy to subdue non-Muslims.
