In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and

culpable in the attack should be made to face the law.

“Let there be open and transparent investigation and whoever is
linked to it should be caught and be made to face the law,” the
President directed.

Condemning the attack and sympathising with the Governor and
entire state, Buhari admonished the incident should not be
politicised.

“President Muhammadu Buhari strongly condemns attack on Governor
Samuel Ortom of Benue State, saying the string of brutal attacks on
individuals and communities in the state, with the latest one
targeting the governor, was unacceptable.

“The President welcomes the dispatch of a high level team of
crack investigators to the state from the Police headquarters in
Abuja, urging the officers to uncover who, or whatsoever, was
behind the attacks and bring them to justice.

“In expressing his sympathies, and that of the government of the
federation to Governor Ortom and all Benue indigenes, President
Buhari said the unfortunate incident must not be politicized,
reiterating that an attack on one Nigerian is an attack on all
Nigerians.

“The President directed the Police to undertake a thorough
investigation into the incident involving the governor and into all
such incidents affecting individuals and communities in the state,”
the statement reads.
