The Arewa Consultative Forum has said that it would like to put on record its total disapproval, frustration and anger agaisnt what appears to be an endless orgy killings in Northern Nigeria.
The ACF was irked by
the latest incidence in Giwa Local government of Kaduna state where 38 innocent citizens were hacked to death.
Quoting Samuel Aruwan, the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs which says many houses, trucks, cars and food crops were distroys during the attacks, the ACF’s Spokesman, Emmanuel Yawe in a statement stressed the need for Government to show more empathy and sympathy in such grave security breaches.
He said while the ACF joins the Governor of Kaduna and the President of Nigeria in consoling those who suffers loses during the latest attack, both the Federal and State Governments should show “more empathy and sympathy in such grave security breaches
“Nothing stops the President and a State governor from visiting such places.
“We sadĺy note that he has never felt it necessary to do so. In fact following his example, not one governor has done so except Governor Zulum of Borno.
“Just a few days ago also in UBA Askira in Borno, where 10 people were killed and uncountable numbers taken away.
“The people affected by these savage attacks are thus left to think that their lives dont count.
‘The President and the northern governors are unwittingly creating the impression that only their lives, those of their immediate family members and their offices matter.
“The ACF believes the President and the northern governors have the capacity to do better than this”, the statement concludes.
