The European Union (EU) Heads of Mission on Tuesday responded to incessant killings in Nigeria as a result of clash between herdsmen and farmers.
The union in a statement in Abuja by the Media Officer to the EU delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Modestus Chukwulaka, expressed concern over escalating and disturbing killings in some parts of Nigeria.
Chukwulaka urged the Nigerian government to bring perpetrators of violence of any kind to book
The mission heads, however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for visiting the affected states.
The statement read in part: “As a first step, the perpetrators of violence must be brought to justice. The EU confirms its full support to the Nigerian government and people in their fight against violence in all its forms.
“The EU also expresses its condolences and sympathy to the families of those killed and injured.
“The EU urge the government and stakeholders to engage and create a dialogue between the feuding parties.
“This should be done to find lasting solutions and sustainable economic policies that would permit all to live in peace.”
