On the heels of the simultaneous Fulani herdsmen attacks that claimed at least 50 lives in Adamawa and Taraba States, the co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign group, Aisha Yesufu, has lampooned the Nigeria Police Force.
Recall that some suspected herdsmen had attacked five communities in Numan and Demsa LGAs of Adamawa State, as well as Lau LGA of Taraba State, killing scores on Sunday.
The deadly attacks had sparked outrage on social media with high-ranking Nigerians condemning the killings and calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to end the killings.

In her reaction, however, Aisha criticized the Nigeria Police for allegedly becoming useful only during political rallies and peaceful protests.

President Buhari @MBuhari said politicians are behind the killings. Governor Tambuwal said President should #StopTheKillings and the next thing his State is attacked? Mr President it's time you start talking! We are ready to listen to the politician angle #NigerianLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/IgUqOSkFSG
