Attack On Ortom: HURIWA Faults Buhari’s Statement

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) on Monday
condemned President Muhammadu’s statement in reaction to the
assassination attempt on Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.

HURIWA accused Buhari of pampering Miyetti Allah cattle owners
Association: “even in the face of the obvious fact that their
activities constitute clear and present danger to National Security
interests of Nigeria.”

The group which condemned last weekend’s assassination attempt
on the life of Ortom also condemned the communication: “by proxy
methodology of President Muhammadu Buhari in the face of the
constant bombardments of soft targets by terrorists and armed
Fulani militia all across Nigeria.”

HURIWA asked Buhari to speak to Nigerians directly in person and
unfold the practicable panacea and measures being put in place by
his government to deal with the increased threats of grave dangers
to the lives and property of the citizens.

The group in a statement issued by the National Coordinator,
Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko expressed disappointment that: “the
violent attacks on the governor of Benue State at the weekend by
suspected armed herdsmen is another dimension in the open threats
made by officials of Miyetti Allah association.”
