Khalid Aliyu, secretary-general of the group, in a statement on Thursday, said the victims of the incident are yet to receive support from the federal government.Aliyu said the federal government needs to ensure a diligent probe into the incident.“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,” the statement reads.
“It is an understatement to say that we have become so much terrified. The carnage was one incidence too many to bear.“It should be stated that this singular act of heartlessness in Doma was a calculated attempt to instill fears among farmers and herders, so as to jeopardise the frantic efforts of mutual harmony that has been built by the relevant stakeholders especially the Nasarawa state government in recent years.
