Nigerians Slam President Buhari Over Continued Killings In Zamfara State

Some Nigerians have berated the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government over its failure to swing into action to end killings across Nigeria especially in Zamfara state.

It will be recalled that Naija News reported that fresh attacks in Kursasa and Kurya communities in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State by some armed bandits has led to the death of no fewer than sixteen people in the villages.

Meanwhile, rights activist, Senator Shehu Sani has lamented frequent killings across Nigeria, saying it was as a result of a failure on the part of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to swing into action to end killings.

Who so ever have hand in the killing of innocent lives in Zamfara, may he never find peace in his life. #ZamfaraIsBleeding

Sani, in several tweets on his twitter handle said there was no where in the whole of the African continent where people were being kidnapped or killed on daily at a very high frequency.

“There is no country in the whole of the African continent where people are being kidnapped or Killed daily at these frequency & numbers. In this area,the Govt has failed woefully.The Govt must protect & guarantee human lives as it does political ambitions & empires,” he said.

He also alleged that politicians after funding armed thugs abandoned them after winning the election, only for the thugs to unleash mayhem on people.

“They funded and armed thugs to help them intimidate, maim or kill opponents in order to realize their political ambitions; now they have abandoned them, to constitute a menace to themselves and to the larger society.”

It pained me even more hearing that @Mbuhari has condoled the family of Kolade Johnson & hasn't done the same on the numerous people massacred unjustly in Zamfara. The God of Muhammad (SAW) & I is watching #ZamfaraIsBleeding
