Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), South East, Bishop Goddy Okafor, has said activities of herdsmen in Nigeria and South East in particular were thwarting food security policy of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Bishop Okafor, who made this known in Aba, Abia State said it was high time the administration looked for a way to curtail the activities of herdsmen.
“The killings going on in Southern Kaduna is very disturbing. We’re one people and we believe we’re one nation. But for these persistent killings going on in Southern Kaduna to keep occurring without the Federal Government doing something drastic to stop it is disturbing. We (Nigerians) are beginning to ask questions. We want to know if the Federal Government does not know what to do to bring peace to Southern Kaduna? Does it mean that they do not have the political will to stop the killings?
“Nigeria is a great country, but if we keep allowing things like this to persist, it will throw everyone into confusion and one will be wondering do I really belong here. Could it be that someone is interested in possessing the land belonging to Southern Kaduna and wants to wipe them out in order to take over their land? Are the bandits are really human beings or spirits? If they’re human beings, our law enforcement agents should go after them and stop them,” Bishop Okafor said.
