Who will be held accountable for the mass murder in Plateau. Mr president, we are watching closely. After miyetti allah claimed responsibility for the attack, not a single arrest has been made. In a few weeks we will forget about this. @cchukudebelu @segalink @Bhadoosky

12 hours ago, Miyetti Allah issued a statement explaining why their herdsmen killed almost 200 Christians in Plateau state. 8 hours later the Buhari Presidency releases a statement absolving the herdsmen who had already claimed responsibility and blaming politicians! Wonders!
