General Overseer of the Omega
Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman has warned that Nigeria was running
out of time owing to the senseless killing of defenseless citizens by violent
herdsmen across Nigeria.
Apostle Suleman, who was reacting
to the reported killing of 120 persons in Jos South, Riyom and Barkin Ladi
Local Government Areas of Plateau State by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen,
said the culprits were determined to start an avoidable problem that will be
irreversible – a crisis between Christians and Muslims.
“It is now very clear that under
the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari, the herdsmen are pushing the country
to the precipice and are desirous to start a war that will lead to the
disintegration of Nigeria—a war between Christians and Muslims,” Apostle
Suleiman said in a statement signed by his Communications Manager, Mr. Phrank
Shaibu.
Suleman urged the Federal
Government to as a matter of urgency put in place a programme that will disarm
the killer herdsmen instead of using billions of tax payers’ money to establish
ranches, which amount to creating safe havens for murderers.
“Why is the Federal Government
establishing ranches for private citizens? Who is Buhari establishing ranches
for? Ranches for men with assault rifles and inadvertently legalising murder?”
Suleman queried.
He reiterated his warning that
any attempt to massacre Christians in any part of Nigeria, will precipitate a
crisis of epic proportion, the end of which no one can predict.
The statement, however, commended
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State whose quick intervention by way of
declaration of dusk to dawn curfew averted what would have been a crisis of
huge proportion.
It said the Muhammadu Buhari led
All Progressive Congress (APC) led administration should forget re-election if
the serious security problems currently confronting the nation are not
addressed.
It called on security agencies to
ensure that the perpetrators were caught and brought to justice, to prevent a
reoccurrence.
Apostle Suleman prayed God to
grant repose to the souls of the deceased and also grant members of their
families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
