Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna lawmaker, has taken a swipe at Nigerian leaders following the recent massacre of worshippers in a mosque in Niger State.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that about 18 worshippers were allegedly killed at Maza-Kuka in Mashegu local government council of Niger State despite the suspension of telecom services in the state to fight insecurity.
It was gathered that the armed men, in the early hours of Monday, stormed the village in large numbers and attacked the villagers, who were performing their early morning prayers.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the gunmen, who came on motorcycles, went straight into the Mosque and shot sporadically, resulting in the death of residents.
Sani said that those in leadership positions in Nigeria had run out of solutions to handle the continuing insecurity in some regions of the country, referring to the latest killings in Niger.
The stoppage of telecom services, he claims, has had no effect on the deaths of Nigerians.
On his Twitter page, the former lawmaker wrote: “The suspension of telecom services has not prevented the massacre of 18 worshippers in a mosque in Niger state by terrorists.
“Same with the 40 killed in Sokoto last week. Those who should provide leadership have run out of ideas.”
