Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Senate minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to publicly declare that he does not support violent herdsmen.<\/p>\n

Abaribe speaking on Channels Tv on Monday morning, said the failure of the government to punish criminal herdsmen had empowered them.<\/p>\n

The Senate minority leader said Buhari should be concerned that a particular set of people were being attributed to crimes all over the country.<\/p>\n

Abaribe said: \u201cThe President needs to come out and say categorically that he does not support the activities of violent herdsmen.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe needs to say I do not support their actions, Buhari needs to come out for every Nigerian to see his intention to own this problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t you as chief executive of a country come out and say I\u2019m giving marching orders to security agencies that these cannot continue to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere has the President ever said publicly that these criminal herdsmen will never be tolerated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve only heard his Spokesman, Adesina say it and not from him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019ve heard from 2006 is live in peace with your neighbour, try to accommodate your country men and stuffs of that nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis enables those that are committing these crimes that there is no punishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a president, you should be very worried when you see things happening in the country targeted at a particular set of people. You should ask what is it that makes these people continue to commit these crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent times, herdsmen in different parts of Nigeria have been accused of killings and kidnappings.<\/p>\n

On Friday, suspected herdsmen attacked Ebute Igbooro, killing four and setting properties on fire.<\/p>\n

This was after about six persons had been hacked to death and some thrown into a river in Owode Ketu on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
