The Government of the United States of America has again told the Federal Government of Nigeria to end the killing of innocent citizens.
Speaking on the issue of killings in the country, the Deputy Chief of Mission in the US embassy in Nigeria, David Young, reminded the President Muhammadu Buhari's government that life is sacred, regardless of class, religion or occupation.
David Young further extended his country’s condolences in Jos, the Plateau state capital, when he visited Governor Simon Lalong, over the recent killings in the State.
He further stated that Life is sacred, whether herdsmen or farmers, Christian or Muslim or whatever ethnic stock. The violence should be a major concern to both the state and federal governments and must be addressed adequately.
He added that there is the need to put in more efforts toward ending this menace in the country, for the promotion of interfaith and inter-ethnic dialogues to address causes of violence.
