Non Governmental Organizations,
NGOs and Civil Liberty Organizations, CLO, have condemned the incessant
killings of innocent Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen.
The groups who spoke with one
voice during the National mourning day for those killed by herdsmen in Nigeria,
urged the federal government to map out strategies to check the killings.
Executive Director of South
Sahara social Development Organization, SSSDO, Nkechi Igwe, urged the federal
government to call a round-table meeting and discuss the way to save lives and
also reach out to those that lost their loved ones.
Igwe said that the federal
government should look for a standpoint to solve the problem of killing to
favour both sides, adding that the killings have escalated from killingof
farmers to Christians at their worship centers.
“Federal government should come
up with a strong option to stop the killing not just providing food for the
victims.
“We are not happy with what is
happening in our country. FG is not doing well in the area of security of the
country.
“We march together today with
others in the country to condemn the killing of farmers and innocent citizens
by Fulani herdsmen in this country. Herdsmen recently went to a church and
killed Christians,” she explained.
Leader of Civil Liberty
Organisation, CLO in Enugu, Comrade Onyebuchi Igboke, while lamenting the lives
and property lost in the country, urged federal government to secure the lives
and property of its citizens.
Igboke said that the federal
government should provide solution to the menace of herdsmen in Nigeria to
restore peace, unity and boost the economy of the country.
Igboke noted that foreign
investors cannot come to Nigeria because of insecurity that has torn the
country apart.
Lamenting the poor intervention
to the families who lost their bread winners during the attack at Nimbo in
Nsukka, Igboke called on the government to come to the aid of the victims.
“In the country, the primary
function of federal government is to protect the lives and property of the
citizen.
“We call on Mr President to step
up in the security of life and properties of the citizens,” he observed.
He said that the Enugu State NGOs
and CLO would visit the Nimbo community and other communities that have
experienced bloodshed by Fulani herdsmen in the state for a town-hall meeting.
