✔@ShehuSaniThe attacks and massacre in sokoto state stands condemned.Everything should be done to bring the perpetrators of that heinous act to http://book.My deepest condolences to the families of the deceased.
They’ve moved the killings to Sokoto -you can’t absolve yourself from the madness in Nigeria – Sokoto used to be Nigeria’s most peaceful state – anytime you tell yourself they won’t get to me – be reminded that they will it’s a matter of WHEN

These days the killings are done in tens or hundreds, not 1 by 1. Sokoto – 40, Taraba – 50. This week alone. Just you kill 90 people in 2 days and we are not at war. How many people died this month in Syria and Afghanistan combined? How did Nigeria degenerate to this ?

Another 32 killed in Sokoto and Buhari pleads for patience! Patience on the part of the dead, killers, the relatives of the dead or all Nigerians? At what point will our President take responsibility?

Bandits kill over 72 in Sokoto State unchallenged but our government are calling media houses to say only 13 killed.All our security agencies are in Ekiti to rig for Buhari and APC.
