The Presidency yesterday branded as fake a Twitter message purportedly written by President Muhammadu Buhari,justifying the recent attacks by herders.
“Evil doers and enemies of our country are obviously at work, seeking ways to further advance their pernicious acts,” the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said in a statement.
He said: “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.”
