A former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has described as heartbreaking, the mas*acre of innocent persons in Plateau State on Christmas eve.
The assailants carried out the attacks on over fifteen communities in the Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of the state on Christmas Eve.
They set different houses ablaze on Sunday night and also looted farm produce and destroyed properties as they butchered the residents.
The Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, on Tuesday, disclosed on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily that the death toll in the Christmas Eve attacks in the state has risen to over 115.
On his part, Sani took to his X account on Tuesday to say he watched the video of the outcome of the massacre in Plateau, adding that the scene of a baby crying on the back of the corpse of his/her mother was horror.
He also described the sad incident as one of the most cruel and evil acts of inhumanity he has ever seen.
Sani wrote, “I watched the video of the outcome of the Massacre in Plateau State. This is one of the most cruel and evil acts of inhumanity I’ve ever seen. Should we condemn it and unequivocally demand justice or should we continue with the complicit practice of the deodorisation of mass murder using religious or ethnic sentiments?
“The scene of a baby crying on the back of the corpse of its mother is horror that should haunt the conscience of every responsible citizen of this country.”
