When news broke last
week of the massacre of more than 150 women, children, and men in remote
communities of Plateau
State, everyone turned
their attention to President Muhammadu Buhari for his explanation of how the
mass murder of citizens on such a scale could take place in a country that is
not at war. Buhari is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. In that
context, he is also the country’s chief security officer. The buck, we are
reminded, always stops at the president’s desk.

| *President Buhari |
When atrocities of extraordinary magnitude occur in any country,
the president has an obligation to furnish the citizens with clear,
unambiguous, and unexpurgated account of what happened, who was complicit in
the murders, and what the security forces did or did not do right to prevent
the disaster or to apprehend the criminals.
