Human rights activist and former federal legislator, Shehu Sani, has blasted former President Muhammadu Buhari, saying over sixty three thousand Nigerians were murdered under his watch.
He made this known on his Instagram handle on Sunday, where he accused the retired general’s government of unprecedented rate of insecurity.
Sani, who represented Southern Kaduna, in the senate also accused northern stakeholders of keeping mute despite the high rate of killings under Buhari.
He further noted that northerners have suddenly found their voices after keeping quiet for 8 years because the former president is a northerner.

The activist went on to put the total number of casualties within eight years of Buhari’s reign at 63,111.
Speaking via his social media handle, Shehu Sani wrote: “Many of them kept quiet and condoned the bloodshed and kidnappings in the North for eight years.
“They called us all sorts of names in their efforts at defending failure. They ignored the corpses of their brothers and sisters and were more interested in defending their President.
“They were silent when about 63,111 persons were killed; double that number were kidnapped, including 1,680 students.
“They lost their voice because the person at the helm then was their kinsman. They found their voice today because the person at the helm now is not their kinsman.”
