Benue Killings: Presidency alert on fake tweet making the rounds

Mass burial held for dozens killed in Benue by herdsmen

Presidency, Saturday, alerted the nation on Fake Tweet making the rounds, saying that a message on a fake Twitter handle purportedly belonging to President Muhammadu Buhari was in circulation.

The ‘spurious message’ according to Mr. Femi Adesina in a press statement, seeks to justify attacks by herdsmen, saying they were only defending themselves.

The statement reads: ?Evil doers and enemies of our country are obviously at work, seeking ways to further advance their pernicious acts.

“The message is denounced in its entirety, and President Buhari stands by his earlier condemnation of the killings in Benue and other parts of the country as dastardly and unacceptable before God and man.

“Those behind the concocted message are also enemies of God and man, who have no place in a decent society.”

The President stands by his earlier directives that all those behind wanton killings in any part of the country must be brought to book, the statement concluded.
