Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari is expected in Jos today to assess the level of security following recent killings in parts of Plateau State.
Reports reaching us indicates that the President is billed to arrive Jos by 12 noon. His coming follows a town hall meeting of critical stakeholders with the Vice President, Yemi Osibanjo in Jos last night.
Mr. Buhari was last in Jos on March 8, 2018 when several killings were recorded in Bassa and Bokkos Local Government Areas of the State. President Buhari’s coming this time is expected to provide answers to critical questions on his care for the Christian minority tribes in the Northern region and his inability to call his kinsmen, the Fulani herdsmen to order.
The president might also be faced with the question of the legality of violent retaliation as recently claimed by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, as against following judicial procedure in the face of crime.
A group of women in Jos was also said to be planning a peaceful rally to protest the killings.
