ONITSHA—Former Dean, Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. Maxwell Anikwena has charged the federal government to find a lasting solution to the on-going killings in several parts of the country, suggesting that the military should be re-organized to meet up with the challenges ahead.

He lamented that Nigeria has never had it so bad like this in terms of blood letting, describing the trend as madness of the century.

Anikwenwa who was the Archbishop of Province II, Anglican Communion and Bishop Emeritus of Awka Diocese in Anambra State, told newsmen at the weekend in Awka, during the 50th anniversary of marriage to his wife, Blessing, that President Muhammadu Buhari is not bothered about the spate of the killings.

According to the Bishop Emeritus, “Buhari claims to be fighting corruption. Yes it is good but if he folds his arms and watch Nigerians slaughtered like animals by the senseless blood-thirsty bandits and religious bigots, who will enjoy the money so recovered through the anti-corruption war?

“Government needs to sit up now or else there will be a revolution in this country and if the revolution is allowed to take place, it will be disastrous. I’m surprised that   Buhari is a military man and yet these killings are going on unabated. He needs to re-organize the military. If the military cannot secure the citizenry, then they have failed Nigerians”.
