The massacres in Kwara, Katsina and Benue are confirmation that Nigeria has descended into a killing field

 The former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has reacted over the killing in parts of Kwara, Katsina and Benue by gunmen

Atiku Abubakar made this disclosure via his social media handle. He urged federal government to take immediate actions to stop the killing 

Atiku Abubakar wrote: "The reported massacres in parts of Kwara, Katsina and Benue are a damning confirmation that Nigeria has descended into a killing field. 

The scale and frequency of these attacks expose a catastrophic failure of the state to protect the lives of its citizens, especially the most vulnerable.

Empty condemnations after mass burials are no longer acceptable. Security must be proactive, deliberate and preventive, not reactive. Communities repeatedly attacked must not be left as open hunting grounds for criminals.

I am deeply pained by these killings. I call on the Federal Government, states and communities to act decisively and in concert to end this bloodletting. 

The murder of even one Nigerian is an unforgivable failure. -AA
