Justice and not tears is needed from President Muhammadu Buhari in the face of the spate of killings by herdsmen in some states of the federation.

This is the position of Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka.

Soyinka made his position known while delivering a keynote address at a dialogue organised by Ripples Centre for Data and Investigative Journalism.

The event was held in Lagos on Thursday.

“Who needs sympathy? Is it sympathy that will reorder their broken lives? Is sympathy the issue? We are speaking here of one commodity that is fundamentally human deserving, justice,” he said.

According to him, the inability to ensure justice had been responsible for the unceasing violence.

“I get impatient when I hear things like Buhari has failed to go and sympathise with the people of Benue, with the people of Nassarawa, with the people of Dapchi or wherever…

“There should be an internal measure to avoid repeat. We are speaking here of a president that will respond with massive action and not showing up at the arena of human desecration to shed any unjust tears, but give orders that the bloodthirsty terrorists are brought to book.”

Buhari has, since last week, been on a tour of states affected by the spate of killings and kidnappings.

On Wednesday, the president visited Dapchi in Yobe State, where 110 school girls were kidnapped by the terrorists group, Boko Haram.

Killings have continued in some of the states he had visited.
