The Northern Christian Elders Forum (NOSCEF) has cried out over the killing of Christians in northern part of the country.
NOSCEF expressed worry over the recent spate of killings in Southern Kaduna, Benue and Taraba states.
It called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the various security agencies to take decisive action against perpetrators.
NOSCEF expressed this yesterday in a statement signed by its chairman, Engr Oyinehi Ejoga Inalegwu, and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.
“NOSCEF is worried that the recent increasing wave of unchecked and persistent killings in Benue, Taraba and Southern Kaduna by bandits/ herdsmen is seeming to look like the parting gift, of the Buhari administration, to our people as it rounds up its 8-year rule.
“With the security architecture in place, such wanton killings, in such magnitude, can be perpetuated without any counter from the security forces,” he said.
He therefore called on the security forces to checkmate the ugly trend and go after those terrorising, killing, maiming people and destroying properties of citizens.
“We also appeal to all Nigerians to pray for God’s intervention in bringing to an end the new wave of killings across the states,” the statement said.
