Tinubu Is Chasing Rats In Niger Republic, Says HURIWA

A group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has asked President Bola Tinubu to order the military and police to totally liquidate armed terrorists, armed Fulani herdsmen and armed kidnappers killing Nigerians in droves and stop the diversionary gambit of plotting to send military troops to Niger Republic to restore civilian democracy.

HURIWA said Tinubu, who is commander-in-chief should take full responsibility for these security failures and the apparent non-performance of the service chiefs and make it mandatory that within a month all the killings by terrorists of all genres be stopped or the service chiefs including the national security adviser are kicked out. 

This was made known through a statement by the national coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko.

HURIWA said it was inconceivable and unbelievable that Nigeria is aflame with the heightened state of insecurity from all dimensions including the significant terrorist activities of Armed Islamic terrorists in the North East of Nigeria,  armed Fulani terrorist attacks all over the country with major concentration of their deadly attacks in parts of Plateau, Southern Kaduna and Benue State, armed Fulani terrorists who have become kidnappers in most federal highways leading to the South East of Nigeria and armed bandits and terrorists are wiping off different Hausa communities and raping young girls in Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna State, yet President Tinubu and his security team are wasting taxpayers money and time to debate to and fro the modalities for militarily intervention in Niger Republic.

Onwubiko said only a president who is insensitive will be bothered about the internal affairs of other countries when his own citizens are being wiped off and slaughtered like Christmas goats.

HURIWA recalled that it was yet another nightmarish experience for the residents of Heipang community in Barkin Ladi local government area of Plateau State, as unknown gunmen swooped on the community in the early hours of Thursday, killing no fewer than 17 persons.

The rights group asserted that among those killed in the fresh attack were young men, women and children just as this new attack comes barely 48 hours after a similar one that led to a protest by some aggrieved women in the Mangu council area of Plateau State.
