<p>President Buhari has repeatedly condemned the violence and expressed his concern
for the lives lost. This year, he has made public statements in February, when he
ordered the arrest of those carrying illegal arms, announced the deployment of additional
security, and offered his condolences to the victims. In April, addressing the congregation
at a Catholic Church, he described as "vile, evil and satanic" the killing
of worshippers and two priests at a Catholic church in Benue State. He called on Nigerians
to refrain from reprisal attacks. In June, he spoke about the killings in Plateau
State, and reiterated his Government's determination to bring those responsible to
justice. We are not aware of anyone having been charged. We call on communities not
to take the law into their own hands but to work with security forces and the authorities
to bring those responsible to justice in accordance with the rule of law.</p>
