ZAMFARA MASSACRE: Lives are valueless under Buhari’s govt – Moghalu

A former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, said on Sunday the assacre of over 200 people in about 10 communities in Anka and Bukkuyum local government areas of Zamfara State by bandits has shown how valueless lives of Nigerians had become under President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch.

Moghalu, who was reacting to the killings in a statement, said the killings of innocent Nigerians would only end if the people decide to vote for competent leaders in future elections.
