In a statement widely circulated in the media, and signed by its Director of Publicity, Akintunde Ademola, the group said it was poised to make tangible contributions to the lingering political leadership that has bogged down Nigeria after over six decades of independence from colonial rule.
International Coordinator of the Nigeria Diaspora Network, Mr. Samuel Atolaiye says Nigerians living abroad are afraid of coming home, because of kidnapping. He spoke with Tobi Soniyi. Excerpts:
Everyday, Nigerians in Diaspora are inundated with gruesome videos and pictures of innocent people being killed by Fulani Herdsmen. Yet, the security agencies appear helpless. How can the killings be stopped?
You are correct that Nigerians in Diaspora receive videos and news of people being killed by Fulani Herdsmen. This information is really disturbing. More disturbing is the fact that Nigerian security agents appear helpless and do not seem to have a realistic plan to mitigate the situation.
