Denys Gauer, outgoing French ambassador to Nigeria, says he does not believe that foreigners are involved in the killings across the country.
The French’s envoy position contradicts that of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari had said that the killings are as a result of the influx of mercenaries from the Sahel region.
“It has always been there, but now made worse by the influx of armed gunmen from the Sahel region into different parts of the West African sub-region,” the president had said when Justin Welby, archbishop of Canterbury, visited him in London back in April.
But speaking with journalists on Friday in Abuja, Gauer said impunity is encouraging the killings in the country and those responsible must be punished.
The envoy spoke to journalists in commemoration of the 2018 French National Day.
“The reason for the killings is demography; some people are fighting for land, so there must be direct policy to develop agriculture and animal husbandry,” he said.
“I think impunity is encouraging the killings and those responsible must be punished. I don’t believe foreigners are involved in the killings.
“The second is justice. When there is that kind of killing, there must be proper prosecution and perpetrators must be properly sentenced. If that does not happen then, it cannot end.”

The Killings are Strategic, Deliberate and a Well Planned......
It's a well Orchestrated Action..

They Know Themselves..
They Have their Sympathizers ...

He waited too long before saying his mind

If the cause of problem is not defined, the solution is not in sight. Sentiments and politicking should not shape our reasoning always

Words coming out from a man with a living brain. Unlike my fellow docile countrypeople. Come 2019, I'll rather vote for someone that'll steal my money and not one useless president like that, that will in the name of integrity consume my life.
