Sometimes when I listen to our president, I laugh, so he sometimes he acts before he thinks and sometimes the other way round. He sent military and jet to unleash terror to innocent IPOB but when it comes to his kinsmen issue, he takes careful step. Continue, der is god ooooo. Continue to expose ur failure to public,no wonder they refer to Nigeria as zoo and you are proven then right . I don't care people who will call for my head.

Yeah! Yeah! Steps taken on paper but in reality no results cos the owners of these herds of cattle are untouchable men in power like Buhari himself. We get the memo loud and clear.

So Buhari, if it is IPOB that has no guns and doesnt kill people, you will know that it is time for Pythons to dance.

But if it is your Fulani kinsmen, armed to teeth and killing people, thats when.........

idiotic pigs of Biafra were making noise over the years without disturbance.

President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the Senate saying the police are working to arrest those responsible for the recent killings in the state.

In a letter read by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday, Mr. Buhari said the federal government was initiating measures to address the killings and other security challenges, alleviate their consequences and forestall reoccurrence.

The letter reads, “I thank you for your letter referenced NASS/8S/R/01/33 dated 18th January 2018 and carefully studied the resolutions and comments there in. As I briefed you and the RT. Hon speaker when we met, several courses of action have been taken prior to the senate resolution.

“You may recall that I told you of the following steps taken as soon as the information came in to me about the Benue killings.

“One, on Thursday 4th January, I sent the minister of interior and the deputy inspector-general of police in charge of operations for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation. Two, on Friday 5th January, the inspector-general of police briefed me verbally on the latest situation, calm had then been restored.

“Three, on Monday 8th, the minister of interior met with the following, governors of Adamawa, Kaduna, Niger, Benue Taraba and Nasarawa together with the DG of the State Security Services, inspector-general of police, CG civil defence, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and police commissioner of the six aforementioned states.

“After the meeting, I instructed the Minister of Interior to brief you on the information gathered so far and steps taken.

“On Tuesday, 9th of January, at a session with Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state during which in informed of police arrests of some suspects. In addition, I told him that I have instructed to speed up trial of the suspects and give wide publicity of the police efforts.

“At the instance of the governor, a meeting was held in the presidential villa on 15th with a wide cross-section of Benue personalities and frank and open discussions were held. Everybody appreciated the difficulties of this farmers-herders strife. I assured all of my commitment and assured justice would be done.

“To infer therefore that nothing has been done, is incorrect. The police are strenuously working to apprehend the rest of the culprits of these heartless killings.

“Furthermore, I have instructed the IGP to relocate to Benue state and redeploy forces to the most sensitive towns. The federal government is initiating measures to address these and other security challenges, alleviate the consequence of these attacks and forestall reoccurrence. The senate resolution itemised in your letter would be taken into consideration and I’m instructing all relevant MDAs to factor them in their work.

“On December 19 to be precise, while receiving the report of the committee that was set up to review the technical and administrative structure of the NIA, I underscored the need to review the entire national security architecture as I promised in my inaugural address on the 29th May 2015. Action is being initiated to receive maximum cooperation from the senate in line with paragraph three of the senate resolutions.”

Write and instruct all you want...
We the people ain't buying it.

Until the killings cease and perpetrators and sponsors pay for their crimes against humanity...

Mr 'president' you fail and a coward in Nigeria history and will forever be remembered as such.

Why is it that anytime the house wanted to quiz any of PMBs appointee, the presidency or AGF will always come to their defence. Why? is it because they are untochable or superior than others? Gos help this country.

Pmb is a deceptive devil. Senate should ignore his letter and proceed with their investigation. After all, pmb refused to heed Senate committee recommendations

When your people are killed you know how it feels, trust me you might be even b the brand ambassador of hate speech. This is what happens when people feel Government do not have their interest at heart
kitaatita:
Religious and opinion leaders are fueling the conflict with their hate speech that tend to motivate violent actions on both sides. These utterances are further helped by activities of social media enthusiasts.
