Buhari To Security Agents: Fish Out Those Behind Ebonyi, Anambra Killings

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the recent mayhem in
both Ebonyi and Enugu states which claimed scores of lives
including that of two policemen.

The President, in a statement on Saturday by his Media
Assistant, Garba Shehu, in clear terms flayed the dastardly attack
on Monday night in three communities namely Egedegede, Obegu and
Amuzu in Íshíelu Local Government Area (LGA) of Ebonyi State.

He has, therefore, directed law enforcement agencies to fish out
the attackers and make them face justice, stressing that the
perpetrators of this “heinous attack” should not be spared.

The President extended his deepest sympathies to families and
friends who have lost loved ones, and to every member of the
communities in Ebonyi State traumatised by the despicable acts of
wickedness.

President Buhari also sent a message of sympathy to the former
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and a member of the
Presidential Economic Advisory Council, Professor Chukwuma Soludo
who survived an attack by gunmen in Aguata LGA of Anambra State as
he consulted with people on his political aspiration.

“I strongly condemn the cowardly terrorist attack on an
outstanding Nigerian, Professor Chukwuma Soludo. Our prayers are
with him and the families of the security operatives who lost their
lives trying to defend innocent citizens assembled for a peaceful
meeting”, he said.

Expressing concern at the influx of illegal weapons, the
President reassured Nigerians that ongoing efforts which had led to
the record recovery of illegal weapons and arrests of a large
number of arms suppliers would be intensified.

According to him, the Federal Government will continue to
empower the police and the armed forces in their brave struggle
against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping”.
