President Muhammadu Buhari is obviously not happy with the recent killings of at least 20 people in Plateau State, describing it madness that has gone too far.
A statement by the senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, quoted Buhari as having instructed the military and the police to bring the violence to an instant end and to draw up a plan to ensure that there are no further attacks and reprisal attacks by one group against the other.
The President said that he saddened by the killing of at least 20 people in the State in what has been described as a reprisal attack by some herdsmen, even as he vowed to protect the sanctity of Nigeria’s unity.
He encouraged Nigerians of all groups to learn to live together in peace and harmony.
He commiserated with the governor and people of Plateau State and with those who lost their loved ones, friends and family.[myad]
