has urged them and others who have suffered one form of attack or the other in the country not to embark on revenge.
The warning came as two community leaders were detained over alleged killing of three herdsmen in Anambra, as mixed reactions trailed alleged herdsmen killing of eight persons in Uwheru Kingdom in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State. The President warned: “No one in the country has a right to take laws into his hands by way of self-help or revenge. Local communities that catch bandits should hand over the suspects to law enforcement authorities instead of meting out capital punishment, leading to a cycle of revenge and counter revenge.”
The governor, who stated this during the disbursement of empowerment packages by Senator representing Katsina South in the Senate, Alhaji Bello Mandiya at Malumfashi, warned the residents at the grassroots against attacking visiting Fulani herdsmen to avert further reprisal attacks. Angered by the claims of the CP who also demanded for the whereabouts of those killed if any of such incidents occurred, President General of the community, Cassidy Akpedafe, insisted that no fewer than 10 persons have been killed in renewed attacks by the hoodlums in the past five days.
In a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, the Deputy President of the Senate called on security agencies to restore normalcy to the affected communities. However, the two community leaders, who spoke from their detention at the Special Investigation Bureau, SIB, Awka, yesterday, insisted that they never killed anybody.
Vanguard gathered that the community leaders were arrested shortly after they held a meeting with Governor Willie Obiano, who was said to be worried about the increasing level of insecurity in the area. Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, Reverend Obinna Akukwe, said the organisation had been following up on the issue since Miyetti Allah leaders raised the alarm last week, adding that a preliminary report had been sent to Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and members of the diplomatic community on the situation at Ifite-Ogwari, which, according to him, was capable of turning Anambra State into a theatre of war.
What should the victims do?
Ok, they should fold their arms and get killed...?
This government has no solution at hand
What Buhary mean is that when they come to kill you, don't defend yourself, just accept it as your fate. Death is inevitable. Know it that, the bandits, Bokoharam, Herdsmen are the only people authorized to kill , but the moment you put on a defence, police will arrest you.
None of the terrorist have been sentenced or jailed instead released
Buhari is not a devil
Retaliation for wrong is never a panacea... Nevertheless, justice and reconciliation will do much more; where these are lacking, anarchy and festering anger portends greater danger to our peace....all that's required is Justice to heal the land
Hmmmm
Government need to put more effort in this insecurity because we are seeing a little changes
Ba conscience
