PDP Knocks Buhari Over Killings, Robbery In Kaduna, Kogi

Following the recent gunmen attacks on a Police station and a bank in Kogi State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a dig at President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, saying it has lost control to bandits.

The party also reacted to the kidnapping activities in Kaduna State, berating the administration over the insecurity across the country.

A statement issued on Saturday from Office of the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbodiyan, recalled that “some armed herdsmen had a few days ago invaded Tudu village in Doka, Kufana District of Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna.

“The attack left nine persons dead while many houses were destroyed by fire.

“Similarly, about 23 persons were killed during a robbery incident that occurred on Thursday at a commercial bank in Isanlu area of Kogi State.”

Ologbondiya knocked Buhari over his “alleged inability to take decisive steps in curbing the issue of insecurity in the country.”

He said Nigeria has become a “minefield for bandits, insurgents, kidnappers, for marauders.

“It’s not only in Southern Kaduna. in Isanlu, Yagba East local Government of Kogi State, armed robbers went into a bank on Thursday, killed all the policemen there and killed indigenes of the community.

“It is about the failure of governance, the central control system of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has collapsed. Whom do you say is in charge of governance today?” Ologbondiyan asked .

Furthermore, he said “President Buhari is in charge of the security architecture of our nation, he is a general who has commanded troops and in spite of our expectations in our party that with the the advantage of his experience he should know that when a commander begins to lose men on the field, it behooves on him to change the security architecture of country but he has not taken advice.”
