Nigerians on social media have cried out for protection of lives and justice over the recent killings of about 200 people in the Church of Christ In Nations (COCIN) and Regional Church Council (RCC), in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

DAILY POST reports that the Plateau Police Command on Sunday confirmed the killing of 86 persons in attacks on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government.

Also hit were Daffo and Kuba communities in Bokkos Local Government.

Reacting to the latest massacre in Plateau state, Nigerians expressed their disappointment in Buhari’s administration, over its failure to protect citizens especially those in Plateau.

They called on Buhari to take drastic measures to put an end to the massacre.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:

@Deraufs “I believe the killings in my country have more of political coloration, they want us to believe @MBuhari hates the Christians, by having more Christians led by Prof Osinbajo into his cabinet they have been put to shame, on this too, they will be put to shame In Jesus Name.”
