 *        VP Says: We must deal with criminals according to law & not an ethnic conflict

*        Urges for peace between Northern traders and Southwest people

( Below are comments by the Vice President today in Lagos when reporters asked him about the situation in Ibadan. He had just paid a condolence visit to the Jakande family in Ilupeju.)

I have heard about the unfortunate mayhem and the tragic loss of lives at the Shasha market in the past few days.

Shasha market  has been a melting  pot for traders bringing foodstuff from the North to the Southwest for decades.

For decades traders from the North have done business with their brothers from the Southwest  and  they have lived in peace  and even inter-married. Shasha is a place of unity.

So when a disagreement arises between individuals or a criminal act is committed by one against the other we must ensure that we see it for what it is,  a criminal act, which must be punished according to law. Not an ethnic conflict.

Every Nigerian has a constitutional right to live, work and enjoy their lives  in safety, peace under the law.

 It is the duty of government through the police and other law enforcement agencies to arrest and prosecute any person who commits a crime against a citizen of this nation. It is the role of the citizen to assist the police to identify the criminals. We must never take the law into our own hands, if we do we will be promoting chaos, and a breakdown of law and order, and all of us especially the most vulnerable amongst us, will be at risk.  I urge all community leaders to work together to preserve the brotherly co-existence that our people from different parts of the country have enjoyed in Shasha market for several decades.

I commend the governor for his swift and decisive action  and all the law enforcement agencies for their prompt intervention.

Children of hates will say this good man is still silent.

Peace is all we need.

Shasha market us an emblem of unity where people from north and south transact, this kind of disunity act should not even be allowed in the first place.

I am even surprised he performed this mouth action.

I thought they would have warned him to keep quiet, and only attend burials.

GOod reaction

All Yoruba miscreants should be arrested and charged as criminals

So, "Sasha represents unity" is okay for you and your kinsmen

Yoruba are not fools

No stupid hausa or fulani will be allowed in shasha again and very soon we gonna chase them out of our land

Amotekun is a failed project and governora should stop wasting money om such useless outfit

Kudos to Nnamdi kanu for setting up ESN

We need something like ESN in Yoruba land with updated sophisticated weapon, this government has waged war against Southerners, only idiots will think am saying nonsense

Law enforcement agents always northerners whenever fight broke out between northerners and Southerners and northerners used to be at all fault all the time yet Southerners get kicked

I'm not inciting people for war but we must be ready to defend ourselves whenever the need be because we can never get justice under this istration

You cant continue to kill people in their own ancestral land and expect us to fold out arms all in the name of one Nigeria

Security agents can never be everywhere at the same time

You know nothing about shasha clashes. Even vp is hypocrite. In 90s, shasha, bodija and sabo were flash points between hausa and Yorubas. Shasha is centre of anarchy. The market should be demolished.

Are you just waking up Mr VP? When the oppressors are doing the damage or are on the receiving end of the divide, then you will start preaching "unity". Continue!

So when a disagreement arises between individuals or a criminal act is committed by one against the other we must ensure that we see it for what it is, a criminal act, which must be punished according to law. Not an ethnic conflict

Exactly..

Unfortunate beings are coming..

Osibanjo is a useless man, is education is a waste, your state of origin had turned to the Den of lion where life had become a cheap commodity and all you've to be blabbing about is peace?


You and your illiterates president brought hardship to this nation yet brought wasting of lives


may thunder scatter that thing that's making you keep quiet while your region is going through hell in the hand of herdsmen

Every Nigerian has a constitutional right to live, work and enjoy their lives in safety, peace under the law. V.P Yemi Osinbajo

So when a disagreement arises between individuals or a criminal act is committed by one against the other we must ensure that we see it for what it is, a criminal act, which must be punished according to law. Not an ethnic conflict.

I have been saying this all along. Sadly, the government is not helping matters. The police and the justice system that should isolate criminal cases and punish the criminals are not doing so. Instead, they are providing cover for certain criminals and expect those affected to keep quiet.

Osinbajo should please the message to the president. He should do the right thing and stop giving tacit to the criminals.

Who bears Brendianiel, a daft person right. Who doesn't know how to say something sensible

What is really wrong with Buhari, this is not the purview of the VP, the commander in chief, should be addressing the nation in times of crisis like this, what kind of I don't care human being is that. If he can't address the nation when his people is being killed, I wonder what will happen when others are harmed, Baba will just go and sleep. Let this Kian man no repeat again in this country.

South West ;
A terrorists land (Nicknamed Hoodlums).
I am advisable to all NorthererS to come back home. @FFK would not help you with his sentimental essays.

hmmm issoright

There is time for everything.

This not the time to preach.

It should be seen the way it is.

Police under your watch and the watch of your herdsman boss has failed to call the fulani terrorists to order, and you are here again preaching to the farmers, raped woman?

You better act on the truth and facts you have OR you resign
