Abba Moro Demands Justice for Slain MACBAN’s Chairman Muhammad
By core Reporters
Irked by the gruesome murder of the Benue state chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Ardo Risku Muhammad, the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, has condemned the attack in strong terms, while describing it as barbaric and unacceptable.
It was reported that Muhammad and his friend, Yakubu Isah, were reportedly ambushed and killed by armed men while returning from a peace meeting in part of the state on Saturday.
The senator representing Benue South Senatorial District said all lives matter, and that nobody has the moral and constitutional rights to take the life of an innocent and armless person.
He charged security agencies to carry out a thorough investigation with a view to getting the real perpetrators of the crime and bringing them to justice.
Senator Moro finds it gratifying that the Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has found it expeditious to condemn the killing of Ardo and Yakubu. He opines that if the governor had been pro-actively living up to his constitutional responsibility of protecting the lives and property of Benue people, this avoidable killing would have been averted.
Core Reporters report that Abba Moro extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and calls on everyone to join hands together to nip the ugly security situation in the bud.
