Angwe said “it is sad that these killings and destruction of property have continued over time and a lot of people have lost their lives as a result of these numerous attacks.
“The Commission condemns in very strong terms the attacks that are today going on between pastoralists and farmers” and act concerns the entire human community hence we have commenced proactive steps within our mandate to protect the rights of Nigerians and other nationals living in Nigeria.”
The NHRC boss also called on the Federal Government to relocate the displace people of the affected communities.
