The Green Party of Nigeria (GPN) on Saturday called on the Federal Government to end the “senseless killings” across the country as soon as possible.
The Chairman of the Edo Chapter of the party, Mr Roy Oribhabor, said in an interview in Benin, Edo State that the call became necessary in view of the recent killings in Benue State alleged to have been perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen.
At least eight states in the country are experiencing attacks by herdsmen. These include Enugu, Benue, Ekiti, Adamawa, Imo, Zamfara, Kaduna, and Delta.
Oribhabor, who described the Benue massacre as unfortunate, said it was the responsibility of the government to as matter of urgency and concern, stop the wanton destruction of lives and property of Nigerians by their fellow countrymen.
The chairman of the party said the killings were gruesome, unacceptable, callous, inhuman and wicked, and should be wholly and openly condemned and not be politicised.
He called on the country’s security agencies to unravel those behind the incessant killings.
He expressed the party’s empathy for the families of those who lost their loved ones in the killing episodes, as well as the governments of Benue, Rivers and Kwara.
He called for the declaration of a state of emergency in the states with high rate of the wanton killings and for the security agencies to get to the root of the agenda behind the killings.
