Attack On Borno’s Farmers By Boko Haram, Extremely Wicked And Devilish — SDP

The Lagos State Social Democratic Party (SDP) has condemned the gruesome beheading of some innocent farmers by insurgents in Zabarmari, Borno state, describing the act as ‘extremely wicked and devilish.

The party, in a statement signed by the state Party Chairman, Hon. Femi Olaniyi (Ferrari) and made available to WeetalknaijaBlog in Lagos, on Monday morning, said that the act must not be left unaddressed.

Olaniyi said that the SDP noted with pain the horrific killing of the compatriots.

He said that the party was distressed by the escalated killing and maiming of innocent Nigerians by insurgents, bandits and marauders, who had continued to ravage and pillage Nigeria’s communities.

Olaniyi said that the SDP was particularly disturbed about what he described as the failure of government to take decisive action against the insurgents, in spite series of concerns raised by Borno state Governor, Baba Zulum, of security compromises in the state.

This, according to Olaniyi, has continued to embolden insurgents to the extent that they now attacked military formations, convoys of state governors and beheading of compatriots.

He advised President Muhammadu Buhari to act on the consistent demands of Nigerians to rejig the national security architecture and replace the service chiefs with more capable hands to effectively tackle the security challenges.

He also advised the president to take more actions that would safeguard the lives of Nigerians.

“Mr President should immediately move to Zabarmari in Borno state, empathize with the families of the victims and lead from the front in restoring security in the area.”

The SDP according to Olaniyi commiserated with the government and people of Borno state.

He urged Nigerians to remain at alert particularly in providing useful information for our security agencies in the fight against insurgency in the land.
