A worried President of the
Senate, Senator David Mark over the unabating violence crimes claiming numerous
lives and properties across the country has lamented that the terrorists have
degenerated to the level of beasts and becoming insane.
Reacting to the latest attacks in
parts of Benue state which claimed hundreds of lives and properties, Senator
Mark wondered how some Nigerians have suddenly become so wicked and cruel to
one another.
Senator stated: "I cannot
understand why People have resorted to killing each other at will without the
slightest provocation. This is not part of us. This is highly inhuman and
unacceptable".
He reminded Nigerians of the
time-tested philosophy of Africans being their brothers' keeper at all times,
saying "we are still one people created by the same God. Neither
religion nor politics or ethnicity should put asunder to our cherished
peace and unity."
Senator Mark therefore tasked
security operatives to collaborate with one another in order to work out a
synergy for result - oriented approach towards ending the killings.
He sympathized with the
government and people of Benue state over the incessant attacks and called for
proactive approach in order to avoid a repeat occurrence.
Specifically, Senator Mark
requested the National Emergency Management Agency (NAMA) to help its
Benue State counterpart to provide relief materials to the victims now
taking refuge in various camps across the state.
He pleaded with his Benue state kinsmen to maintain peace and order as
both the state and federal governments have resolved to halt the trend "so
that we can all be at peace and make progress."
