The leadership of the Jama'atu Nasril Islam has condemned the killing of 47 herdsmen during the accidental airstrikes by the Nigerian Air Force in Nasarawa, calling on the Federal Government to fish out the perpetrators for prosecution.
“As a matter of fact, some sources claimed helicopters bombed the victims, while others said it was a horrific sporadic coordinated attack from different angles on the victims, a very heart-rending and mind-boggling situation.
Saying that Nigerians were desperately yearning for concrete action on the matter, the Sultan group called on the government “Identify with victims and places of attacks by commiserating with the people, it is better late than never. “The Federal Government of Nigeria should pay compensation to the bereaved families, for equity, justice, and foreclosing of any possibility of vengeance or reprisal.
