A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has condemned the assault on school children and teachers by some unknown gunmen in the South-East.
OsunDailyNG reports that some unknown gunmen, on Wednesday, flogged some pupils and their teachers for disobeying the sit-at-home exercise to protest against the incarceration of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is still in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Reacting to the sad incident in a Twitter post on Friday, Fani-Kayode described the assault on the students and their parents as wickedness and evil.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) added that Enugu was relatively peaceful whilst former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani was in power but now the state is witnessing savage barbarity against children.
He said: “Behold the works of the armed wing of the Obidient movement all in the name of Biafra. Enugu was relatively peaceful whilst Gburugburu was there but now we are witnessing this savage barbarity against children.
“I am at a loss for words. This is pure evil. Are these Biafran/Obidient footsoldiers any better than Boko Haram and ISWAP? Such wickedness is rarely seen and I wholeheartedly condemn it. Something must be done!”
