The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Tuesday, condemned the latest killing by suspected Fulani herdsmen in some communities in Plateau State.
DAILY POST reports that some suspected herdsmen killed over 86 persons during an attack on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, over the weekend.
The National Public Relations Officer of the association, Mr Bestman Okereafor, made the condemnation in a statement in Enugu.
The association condoled with the affected families and urged the Federal Government to address the issue of killings in the country.
“With great sadness, the leadership of NANS joins the world and fellow Nigerians in condemning the gruesome murder in some states of the federation, especially the most recent killings in Plateau State by suspected herdsmen.
The association, however, noted with concern that such killing had continued despite of its repeated appeals to the problem.
“NANS is appealing to Mr President to stand by his promise of protecting human rights and fighting human rights abuses, ” Okoroafaor said.
