THE Performing Musicians Association of
Nigeria, PMAN, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to bring to
book the perpetrators of the recent Jos Plateau State killings even
as the body described the incident as ‘barbaric’.
In a statement signed by its National
president, Dr. Gbenga Falope Jnr cautioned Nigerians not to “play
into the hands of these agents of disunity.”
Falope Jnr. said: “We the National
executive's and members of the Performing Musicians Employers'
Association of Nigeria (PMAN) are greatly pained by the persistent
violence and the total disregard for the sanctity of life in Nigeria
by a group of hideously evil persons who have no iota of respect for
humanity, decency and civilization.”
PMAN according to Falope Jnr “are
greatly disturbed by the repeated acts of mass killings and
destruction in various parts of the country. We as musicians are
agents of peace and these killings point to a grand evil design by
enemies of peace and Nigerian unity who have desperately been trying
to bring our dear country to a sorry point. We ask all citizens of
Nigerians to be wary and not play into the hands of these agents of
disunity.”
The artistes’ president appealed to
president Buhari to make security of lives and property top priority
as promised on assumption of office. “We condole with all who have
lost someone in the various acts of terror especially the recent
Plateau killings and ask President Buhari to sit up on the issue of
security by bringing to book the perpetrators of these barbarous mass
murder and their clandestine sponsors.
