The Youth
Wing of Christians Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has expressed
disappointment with Christian political office holders in the country over
their
continuous silence on mass killings of Christians across the country by
in what it described as “organised operations by Fulani herdsmen”.
In a
two-page communique issued yesterday in Yola after a six-hour emergency meeting
of the northeast officials of the group, National President of YOWICAN, David
Kadzai, reminded Christian political office holders that they occupy these
offices not on their personal merits, but because of the religion they
practice.
He stated
that even when the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar lll, openly stated that the
killer herdsmen are foreigners, the speaker, the Vice President and others did
not direct the security agents concerned to fish them out.
“The police
only arrest suspects when farmers attack herdsmen in a reprisal attack, but
when Fulani herdsmen kill hundreds of Christians, the police suddenly cannot
get suspects.”
He warned
that if the federal government continues to give support to Fulani herdsmen by
not taking the needed action to cage their blood thirst, the country may be
moving towards anarchy in the nearest future.
