PRESIDENCY STRONGLY CONDEMNS HOODLUM ATTACKS ON TRAVELLERS

The Presidency condemns the attack earlier Saturday on travellers from a religious event in Bauchi, passing through Jos, the Plateau State Capital and regrets the reported deaths of at least twenty-two persons with several others injured in that ambush on their travelling party.
It is widely known that Plateau State has been one of the states affected by herder-farmer clashes, which have, in a significant way, been curtailed following the intense peace-building efforts of the administration of Governor Simon Lalong.

However, to be clear, this is not an agriculturalist-on-pastoralist confrontation – but rather a direct, brazen and wickedly motivated attack on members of a community exercising their rights to travel freely and to follow the faith of their choosing.

With the evident preparedness of their attackers, it is clear this was a well-conceived and prearranged assault on a known target, location and religious persuasion of the travellers not an opportunist ambush.

The Presidency offers condolences to the families of the victims and continues to liaise closely with the local authorities - including security, the police, and governmental agencies.

These kinds of attacks on our country's citizens are unacceptable, heinous, and stand in complete contradiction to the teachings of the great religions of our nation.

The Presidency stands steadfast with both Christians and Muslims at this time in condemnation of this latest attack and expects and insists that justice is swiftly – but fairly – delivered to the perpetrators.

"Make no mistake about it: in line with my commitment to protect all Nigerians, I have ordered our security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of this gruesome massacre of innocent travellers and bring them to justice," President Buhari said.

As the facts of the sad incident continue to unfold, the Presidency commends the ongoing efforts by the Governors of Plateau, Bauchi, and Ondo; the Sultan of Sokoto His Eminence Sa'ad Abubakar III and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi as well as a number of notable Christian and Muslim leaders as they intensify efforts to calm down the situation.

Is this a fake news? Cause it has no source.

If is true, I will be really happy if someone can share a link where the presidency is condemning the attack by Fulanis on peaceful pleateu state Indigenes attacked for no reason.

Human life in this country is nothing some people even value 1k than human life.

You can imagine!
The presidency actually jumped out of their skin to quickly condemn this!?
Where were their condemnation of the massacres of almost one hundred Igbo natives of Benue state few weeks ago? How about the killings by the fulani in Enugu, Plautue etc?

That's all.
1. - People get killed.
2. - The foolish court jester Garba Shehu reads a spineless condemnation message from General Buhari.
3. - Go back to number 1 and repeat process.

General Buhari has put Nigeria in a dangerous loop of insecurity.

Other countries has 'President's' but, in Nigeria we have 'Presidency'.



May God help those that still believe in Nigeria

Instead of treating the terr0rists in za language zhey understand...he's condemning. But he'd gladly kill protesters. Stvpid c0w.

OP what's the sauce?

No source ?

Circle of killing and condemn

Hallmark of a failed presidency, it only condemns but will never find solution to the problems, but will be quick to attack innocent citizens when expressing their opinions. I know one day their close family members will taste their portions of this bitter pills.

I'm glad you are talking to yourself now.
