Why genocide allegations will not end – Former Nigerian diplomat

A former diplomat, Joe Keshi, has stated why genocide allegations against Nigeria by the United States would continue.

Featuring in an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST on Thursday, Keshi said that the presence of a Nigerian ambassador in Washington could have helped to manage the allegations.

“The truth of the matter is that a lot of Nigerians and Christians are being killed and the government has not shown the capacity even to adequately deal with the matter.

“Take for example the Benue incident where the president made the enquiry from the Inspector-General of Police why no arrests were made and a few days later the IGP said 26 people had been arrested. As of today, nobody has heard what happened to those 26 people.

“Until Nigeria addresses the killings and insecurity, genocide allegations will persist. Nigeria needs to engage more and build friendships in Washington,” he said.
