Nigerian hip hop artist, Eedris Abdulkareem has lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari for failing to speak out against the recent massacre in Igangan, a town in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The 47-year-old noted that the North seem to be more bothered about the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the South East than the destruction of lives and properties being carried out by Boko Haram terrorists and bandits in the region.
Recall that gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen attacked Igangan Town, killing over 50 people and destroying houses and other valued property
The attackers stayed in the community for over three hours, during which several residents of the town were killed. And no presence of security operatives were felt for the duration of the attack.
The jagajaga crooner in a series of posts on Instagram wondered if President Buhari would have reacted, if it were cows that were killed in the South-East.
He wrote, “48 hours after the terror unleashed on Igangan, no word from Buhari, but if a cow is slaughtered, he will threaten the Igbos who know nothing about it.
“Northerners are more angry with ESN/IPOB in the South East than Boko Haram/Bandits in the North.”
