Atiku stated that failure of the justice system to ensure that perpetrators of crime are brought to book was responsible for the continued killings and violence in the country.

He stated this in response to the renewed attacks in Plateau and Taraba States.

DAILY POST had reported that over ten people were killed by unknown gunmen on Sunday around Kwatas village in Bokkos LGA of Plateau State.

However, Atiku said Nigeria’s justice system should ensure that criminals who were caught in heinous crime were meted with adequate punishments.

A statement by his Media Aide, Paul Ibe reads: “A society with a derelict justice system is a fertile land for misconduct, according to a popular Africa adage.

“To be sure that we are one step ahead of criminals who pose existential threats to our internal security, it is important that we empower our justice system with the belief that when stiff punishments are handed down on these criminals, there will be a deterrence for a repeat of this nature of crime.

“So, there is no deterrence to such crimes. Justice is thus key to promoting peace in our communities.

“If you give people the confidence that anyone who breaks the law will be found and made to face the full wrath of the law, then people will be less inclined to promote violence and the killings that come with it.”

Atiku also commended the military and other security outfits for their spirited efforts to clear all trenches of bandits’ hideouts.

You can't get justice with Buhari and Tanko.

the man of integrity

Atiku-2023 president of federal republic of nigeria

It's getting mad-er
A message from MMP's 'brother from the north'.
xxxx
The National President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Muhammadu Kirowa, says that the association have broken ties with the Yoruba nation for going ahead with their Amotekun Security Network. Kirowa speaking at Abuja says that the association and it’s affiliates will cease to support the political ambitions of the Yoruba people, saying that the much debated Amotekun Security Network was formed to disrupt cattle herders.
We cannot be supporting those who are against us. The only reason for forming Amotekun is Fulani people, to drive us away from their land. Tell me are we not all Nigerians? I have seen that the Amotekun boys have been armed. If they are armed, we have no choice than to arm cattlemen because they need to protect themselves from the danger which Amotekun will pose to them.
They cannot reject Ruga and also reject open grazing, they must choose one. All I can tell you now is that they are pushing us too far. They are really pushing us to the walls. We have held meetings with relevant government agencies and they promised to look into the issue. How can they go ahead with Amotekun when the police issued them notice to stop? How can they ignore the President’s directive? I see that there is an evil motive behind this security network.
I heard they have also endowed them with charms to kill our cows. For any cow killed, their government will pay double for it. For every Fulani herdsman killed, violence will erupt. We have been oppressed for too long. It’s time to tell Yoruba people that we are not cowards and by Allah’s power, we will crush Amotekun and crush all their evil plots against the Fulani race.

No wonder spectators sabi football pass footballers

You can't get justice with Buhari and Tanko. And Buraitai and Adamu. Without authorisation, they retrain Bokoharam to University, turn Bokoharam Barons' houses to Monuments and Museums(Mohammed Yusuf by Shettima), and plead for the Release of UNSENTENCED CRIMINALS KNOWN TO THEM.. What a Country! What a Life! And to think that they will get away with all these?

Simply because the killers BH, Fulani terrorists, unknown gunmen are all being shielded by the government that be.

.

Buhari'll rather set them free.

I hear some are even enlisted in the military



.

First time I agreed with our oga looter of Nigeria treasure

However, you failed to initiate any productive mean of security to strengthen our security against ever rampant Killing by bandit, bokoharam, herdsmen and other militants when Yu were VP


Nevertheless Yu have a valid point
