Following the massacre of more than 200 people in Benue state, a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that there should be no more excuses, saying those behind the car age must be identified and eliminated.
Fani-Kayode in a post on his verified X handle on Monday noted that this madness has been going on for the past 12 years and it is time for it to be brought to an end.
He noted: “200 innocent and defenceless Nigerians have been butchered by a monstrous horde of evil barbarians, bloodthirsty aliens and blood-lusting terrorists in Benue state over the last two days.”
Fani-Kayode stressed that it was totally and completely unacceptable, saying the country can no longer condemn a s lament about the killing of innocent civilians in other countries and remained silent about the ones being slaughtered with impunity in Nigeria.
He added: “Such butchery is unconscionable and must be brought to an end. Those behind it must be identified, exposed and eliminated.
“War is being waged against the Nigerian state and the Nigerian people by a ruthless and relentless army of feral psychopaths, genocidal maniacs, vile beasts and verminous scum who seek to divide us on ethnic and religious lines, destabilise our country, destroy our democracy, decimate our heritage and thrust us into a self-inflicted catastrophic, cataclysmic and unending civil war!
“We must resist them with passion and power! We must be unyielding and unrelenting in our response! We must come together as one and refuse to bite their bait! We must show strength and courage! We must be bold and decisive!
“No more excuses, no more long talk, no more limp arrests, no more unending and fruitless due process, no more playing it by the rules, no more lengthy court appearances, no more forgiveness and no more integration of these callous beasts into our Armed Forces.
“We must be utterly savage and ruthless, we must hunt them down like the animals that they are, we must eliminate them, we must crush them into dust, we must burn them into ashes, we must bury them in unmarked graves, we must avenge our dead & we must make Nigeria safe & great again!”
