We die alone, burry our people alone, what we get are statements from govt – Kukah

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has again hit at the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration over the rising security situation in the country.

The vocal Bishop in his speech today, frowned at the government’s attitude to the death of fellow citizens, murder by bandits, kidnappers, armed men and other agents of death in Nigeria.

Kukah spoke at ‘The Platform’ organised by Pastor Poju Oyemade, monitored by Vanguard. According to him, “people are dying and all we get are simple statements from Government”.

For the past few weeks now, a good number of persons have lost their lives following insecurity challenges in the country. North-east is currently boiling with the continuous attack by Boko Haram terrorists.

There is no peace in the South-East and South-South either, following the invasion of Fulani herdsmen and their constant killing of Nigerians.

Nigerians no doubt have been waiting for President Muhammadu Buhari to make a national broadcast, condemning the rising deaths in the country and of course take part on the pain and sorrows the victims’ families are going through.

Presidency through the Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to the president issues statements to condole anyone that loses a dear.
