The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has blamed the rampaging activities of herdsmen across the country on the silence of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In an address in Enugu State, southeast Nigeria, PFN chairman Rev. Dr. Goddy Madu, described the murderous herdsmen as “Boko Haram in disguise and agents of Islamization,” stating that the body was not happy over the silence of the president, Vanguard writes.
“The recent attack on Attakwu community of Enugu State is what we can no longer condone in any way. It was deadly and unprovoked attack on a peace-loving community and this happened while we are yet to recover from the massacre at Nimbo in Uzo-Uwani Council Area, he said.
“We are not happy over the silence of President Muhammadu Buhari over these attacks. He should make a strong statement to stop these useless and wicked attacks by Fulani herdsmen. “He is busy sending soldiers after Boko Haram, Niger Delta Avengers and the rest, with the exception of Fulani herdsmen, who now terrorize good citizens of Nigeria without recourse.”
Madu joined the call of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, that southeast governors take drastic measures to stop this menace, stating that “you should not fold your hands and watch these wicked herdsmen destroy your villages. You should try to safeguard your lands and farm.”
In view of the development, Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on Tuesday inaugurated a Security Committee to be headed by Brigadier General Fred Eze (rtd) to look at ways of bringing an end to the horrors of herdsmen in the state.
