Killings In Nigeria Continued because Killers are Protected - US government

The United States has stated that the only reasons killings continued in Middle Belt, North and other part of Nigeria was because perpetrators are never prosecuted.
The deputy Chief of Mission and Charge de Affaires, US Embassy in Nigeria, David Young, said this in a chat with journalists in Jos after a meeting with church leaders in Plateau State.

Young, however, advised the Nigerian government to strengthen its laws in dealing with killers.
 He Said:

On behalf of the United States government and American people, I want to express again our condolences on the tragic loss of lives across Plateau, North-Central and North-West states.
Quite a lot of people have died; it has been very terrible tragedies. We want to affirm the sanctity of human lives and anytime a person dies, it is a tragic loss, be that person a Christian, Muslim, Berom, farmer or herder.
I think it is clear, we know and government knows that as well. A lot of people are doing good things and working hard.
But it needs to be even more because it is clear that there is a climate of impunity. When people are committing serious crimes, they get away with it, without being brought to justice.
