Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has condemned the violent attacks in Benue, Rivers and Kaduna States.
Mark described the killings as “reprehensible, barbaric and inhuman,” according to a statement by his Media Assistant, Paul Mumeh on Thursday.
While lamenting the unfortunate incidents, he urged security agencies to rise up to the challenges and curb the menace.
“Nobody has a right to take another man’s life needlessly. The law must take its course and perpetrators must not go unpunished. This lawlessness must not continue. Security operatives must do the needful to fish out the perpetrators,” he said.
He further called for working synergy between and among security operatives to combat the worrisome situation.
Mark added, “No matter the anger in a man’s mind, resorting to violence or taking another person’s life can only aggravate the situation. There are enough channels of mediation including the courts and the legislature to address perceived or alleged misdemeanor.
“Our governments must stand up for the people. Enough of this malady. We deserve to live in peace in our fatherland. Nigeria is a nation governed by law. Every citizen is a stakeholder and everyone has a right to life.”
