Author:The Northern States Christian Elders Forum says the recent killings in Benue, Taraba, and the southern part of Kaduna have appeared to be President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s parting gift.
On Saturday, 32 people were killed while 30 houses were burnt in an attack by suspected bandits on a community in Zangon Kataf LGA in the southern part of Kaduna state. “NOSCEF is worried that the recent increasing wave of unchecked and persistent killings in Benue, Taraba, and Southern Kaduna by bandits/ herdsmen are seeming to look like the parting gift, of the Buhari administration to our people as it rounds up its 8-year rule,” the statement reads.
