Nigeria Must Cease Being A Killing Field – Peter Obi
Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi has condemned the killing of over 100 people in Plateau State and more than 20 individuals in Benue State.
The 2019 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice presidential candidate described the massacre as horrific and unacceptable.
Obi noted that the degree of the killings questions the government’s responsibility to protect lives and properties.
“Nigeria must cease being a killing field. These numbers are human beings and loved ones of many families”, his statement Wednesday night reads.
“As a nation, we cannot be insensitive to the ongoing bloodletting and targeting of the most vulnerable and helpless in our society,” he added.
