Reno Omokri replies Presidency over claims that 756 people were killed by herdsmen during Jonathan's tenure
Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex president Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to recent claims by the presidency that 756 people were killed in 2-years under his adminitration. In his response, Reno said Jonathan dealt with the fulani herdsmen decisively. Former President Jonathan wishes to express his condolences to the government and people of Benue, Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa and Nasarawa states, over the recent spate of killings occasioned by herdsmen/farmers clashes. His heart bleeds for the sufferings of Nigerians and he calls on the authorities to do everything in their power to put an end to these needless killings. Having said that, let it be known that we find the statement by the Presidency stating that 756 Nigerians were killed by Fulani herdsmen in two years under the government of former President Jonathan as a mischievous assertion by a callous Presidential spokesman who thinks that death is something to be trivialized. For the avoidance of doubt, let it be known
