The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on the Federal Government to declare a day of national mourning on the recent killings in Plateau State.
In the statement by NANS Senate President, Ekundina Elvis, the association expressed concern saying that it was “highly embarrassing that the murderers are yet to be identified, arrested, and prosecuted in a law court”.
“Conclusively, we charge the Federal Government to declare a day of national mourning while the Nigerian flag at all levels is flown at half mast,” the statement read
The association called on the government to protect the lives and property of the Nigerians, asking the ruling class to stop the condolence visitations.
“As an association, we want to say that enough condolence visitations by our ruling class, the government must make concerted efforts towards the protection of lives and property of the Nigerian people.”
WikkiTimes had earlier reported how Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) under the leadership of His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, condemned “with utmost sorrow and concern” the Plateau State killings that claimed more than 100 lives.
JNI expressed shock and displeasure over the inhuman attack on citizens in certain towns and villages in Barikin Ladi and Bokkos local government areas of Plateau State.
