U.S Flays FG, Decries The Death Of About 20,000 Nigerians From Herdsmen Attacks

U.S Flays FG, Decries the Death of About 20,000 Nigerians from Herdsmen Attacks Since June of 2015

The
United States of America has shown its disgust concerning the FG’s
management of the herdsmen killings, leading to the ultimate death of
about 19,890 people since June 2015. The US Council on Foreign Relations
has come out with this exclusive report, to bring to light the menace
of the herdsmen killings affecting mainly the Christian dominated Middle
Belt and Southern part of the country.

These killings have
become incessant and as such, has constituted a source of International
worry to all and sundry, considering the strategic importance of Nigeria
to the world. Recall that on the visit of President Buhari to the US in
April 2018, the US President; Donald Trump warned about the
“persecution of Christians in Nigeria,” reiterating that “we are going
to work on that problem very very hard.” This is corroborated by the
report of Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), claiming that 1,061 have
been killed by killer herdsmen in the first quarter of 2018, in the
Middle Belt alone.

Remember that Nigeria is the third most
terrorized country in the world, only behind the war-ravaged Iraq and
Afghanistan, according to the Global Terrorists Index. The menace of the
herdsmen killing over the last three years has led to people abandoning
their farms and a consequent increase in the price of food items.

This
report has come at a time when the FG’s security strategies are put to
the test at the polls, with Boko Haram still claiming lives of soldiers
in their hundreds. While the nation gears up for this, about 19,890
families, go to bed and wake up, knowing they have lost their loved ones
to the neglect and carelessness of the Buhari administration.
