Popular Nigerian comedian and actor, Mr. Macaroni has described the country's leaders as heartless and evil.

He made the comment on Twitter in response to a statement by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed who said Nigerians were safe.

Mr Mohammed had early said citizens are in safe hands despite the high rate of insecurity in some parts of the country.

Mr Macaroni noted that the statement by Lai Mohammed meant the current government isn’t tired of having the blood of innocent Nigerians on their hand.

He tweeted: "36 residents of Shikaan Mbagena Kpav in Benue State murdered in cold blood but Lai Mohammed said Nigerians are in safe hands!!! The Nigerian Government isn’t tired of having the blood of innocent Nigerians on their hands. We have Evil and Heartless people in power!!"

Anytime I go out and I see Nigerians getting harassed by men in uniform, I stop my car, get down and stand in solidarity. Please let us develop the attitude of standing up for one another. The government has failed us. We are all we have.
