President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his unequivocal condemnation of the attacks against non-indigenes and law enforcement officials by terrorists in South East Nigeria.
President Buhari promised all possible action in conducting a speedy investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
His reaction came amidst reports of the slaying of six Nigerien citizens and the brutal killing of several policemen at their duty posts.
The President urged community and religious leaders to speak more forcefully against the killings, stand up and defend the ethos of our cultural and religious heritage.
“Those who know should point at specific people who did this,” he stated.
President Buhari expressed his administration’s unwavering commitment to peace and stability in the southeast and the entire country, saying “the reports of killings anywhere were sad and unwelcome.”
He offered his condolences to the families of the law enforcement agents murdered and to the government and people of the Niger Republic whose citizens were cruelly beheaded by the beastly attackers.
