The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign for his inability to prevent the killing of two priest and several Christian worshipers by suspected herdsmen in Benue State.
In a statement, according to BBC, the body of Bishops wondered why the government, headed by President Buhari deliberately ignored the attacks:
“How can the Federal Government stand back while its security agencies deliberately turn a blind eye to the cries and wailing of helpless and harmless citizens who remain sitting ducks in their homes, farms, highway and now, even in sacred places of worship?
“Clashes between herdsmen and farmers are increasingly common as the struggle over grazing rights and access to water becomes more acute.”
