The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to issue a strong statement in order to stop the rampaging activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country.
The PFN chairman in Enugu State, Rev. Goddy Madu said that the president’s silence was fueling the continuous attacks, adding that he (Buhari) should prioritize the killings just as he did Boko Haram.
He said, “The recent attack on Attakwu community of Enugu State is what we can no longer condone in any way. It was deadly and unprovoked attack on a peace-loving community and this happened while we are yet to recover from the massacre at Nimbo in Uzo-Uwani Council Area.

“We are not happy over the silence of President Muhammadu Buhari over these attacks. He should make a strong statement to stop these useless and wicked attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
“He is busy sending soldiers after Boko Haram, Niger Delta Avengers and the rest, with the exception of Fulani herdsmen, who now terrorize good citizens of Nigeria without recourse.”
Madu, however, called on the various South-East communities to initiate steps towards defending themselves, stressing that “you should not fold your hands and watch these wicked herdsmen destroy your villages. You should try to safeguard your lands and farm.”
