The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Internally Displaced Persons, Ms Mariam Marsha, has described the recent killings by herdsmen in Agatu as an unfortunate development which is not in the character of Nigerians.
Marsha told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN in Abuja that the attacks by Fulani herdsmen in which over 300 persons were killed were condemnable.
She assured that government was working closely with stakeholders in the area to resolve the incessant conflicts between the herdsmen and their host communities.
“It’s unfortunate because this is very unlike Nigerian. Violence of this nature is terror and not a part of us. And it’s something that we need to work together both within the community and at the government level, state and federal levels, but also within the communities,” she said.
