Victims of herdsmen killings shouldn’t take matters into their hands – Buhari
President Buhari, in a statement on the recent killings in Plateau State on Monday, said politicians have hijacked the discord between farmers and herdsmen to cause chaos in the country.
“We know that a number of geographical and economic factors are contributing to the longstanding herdsmen/farmers clashes,” he said.
“But we also know that politicians are taking advantage of the situation. This is incredibly unfortunate.”
He, however, urged affected persons not to take matters into their hands.
“Nigerians affected by the herdsmen/ farmer clashes must always allow the due process of the law to take its course rather than taking matters into their own hands,” Buhari said in a statement issued by his media spokesperson, Femi Adesina.
