Group blames El-Rufai for the killing, kidnappings in Kaduna
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has attributed the killing of the students of Greenfield University to a “culmination of lack of political will on the part of the governor to govern the state well.”
According to Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, the National Coordinator of HURIWA, he said, “The governor compounded the problem of the commoners who are at the receiving end of the activities of these insurrectionists and terrorists by continuously making all kinds of incendiary statements and reckless media pronouncements about the kidnappers”.
“These same kidnappers that the governor has demonstrated a lack of political will to arrest and prosecute for their crimes against humanity, the governor has gone on to advocate that they should all be killed. Who does that in a constitutional democracy; to kill without following the due process of the law? This is anarchy”.
“What kind of a governor is that who will provoke criminals that he has refused to arrest?”.
“So these criminals have now descended on their victims and killed them to test the ‘might’ of the governor who proclaims that might is right. This is absurd and condemnable”.
“So who do you blame? The provocative governor of Kaduna State.”
The three students were killed just hours after President Muhammadu Buhari warned bandits to “stop pushing their luck too far by believing that the government lacks the capacity to crush them.”
The President, who was condemning the latest killings by bandits in Zamfara State, had vowed that “such wanton disregard for life will be brought to an end sooner than later.”
