Instead of the Buhari-led Federal Government of Nigeria stepping in to find a lasting solution amid tardiness by the state government, it is unfortunate that it has resorted to provocative statements.
The Southern and Middle Belt leaders Forum, SMBLF, on Sunday, expressed anger over the wave of killings in Southern Kaduna, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to step in and bring the perpetrators of the act to face the law.
The statement reads:"The Southern and Middle Belt Forum is outraged by the latest wave of killings in Southern Kaduna in which SOKAPU has claimed the death of 63 people. "In the past weeks, there have been reports of killings, especially in the southern part of Kaduna State with the most recent massacres at Kukum Daji and Gora Gan put at 33 deaths, aside from the scores who are in hospitals receiving treatment from various degrees of gunshots.
"One of such is the annoying claims credited to the Senior Special Assistant to the President of Nigeria, Malam Garba Shehu, on July 21, 2020, that 'the problem in Southern Kaduna is an evil combination of politically-motivated banditry, revenge killings and mutual violence by criminal gangs acting on ethnic and religious grounds.'
