HURIWA Condemns Buhari’s Silence On Kaduna Airport, Rail Attacks

 The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria on Tuesday condemned what it described as the

silence of the President, Major General

Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on the attacks of

terrorists on the Kaduna Airport and the

Kaduna-Abuja rail track.

The group also carpeted the Federal Government

for failing to take urgent action as regards the

the security situation in the country.

Akelicious had on Monday night reported how a

group of terrorists had bombed the Abuja-

Kaduna rail track and attacked a train filled with

passengers.

Akelicious had also reported how some

terrorists attacked the Kaduna airport on

Saturday. But the Presidency has yet to make an

official statement condemning the attack.

In a statement shared with our correspondent in

Abuja, HURIWA said, “Last night’s terrorists

the bombing of a packed train heading to Abuja

unambiguously signposts a dangerous peak in

the war against Nigeria and Nigerians by the

Fulani terrorists operating from North West of

Nigeria.

“it is said that the President has neither

condemned the terrorists to attack the moving

train nor that of the Abuja airport.

“Nigerians are fed up with the tepid responses of

President Muhammadu Buhari who often wait

for the terrorists to strike and then he issues the

usual drab statement condemning the terror

attack.

“The reason terrorists are emboldened to

continue to launch daring raids on their targets

of choice is that they have come to be made

aware that President Muhammadu Buhari has

become very comfortable with very inefficient

security heads he appointed in the last seven

years now.

“HURIWA wonders whether the President is

waiting for the terrorists to launch a daring

invasion of the National Assembly complex

within the three arms zone of Abuja before he

would realize that he has no effective National

Security Adviser and Minister of Defence.

HURIWA, therefore, is appealing to President

Muhammadu Buhari to take action urgently

because the terrorists are becoming even more

daring and emboldened because they feel they

have nothing to lose.

“The Rights group also calls on the Federal

The government needs to probe the heads of security

services in states whereby terrorists are having a

field day to ascertain whether these inefficient

security heads are inevitably working with

armed non State actors in the South East of

Nigeria and North West for them to be recording

the kind of successes that they have achieved in

the past months at the cost of the economic

dislocation of Igboland and the North West”.
