President Muhammadu Buhari on
Tuesday expressed shock and outrage at reports of killings of innocent persons
in Omoku, Rivers State; and murders of the traditional ruler, the Etum Numana,
Dr. Gambo Makama, and his wife in Sango Local Government Area of Kaduna State
in the New Year.
A statement by his spokesman,
Garba Shehu, described the incidents as “reprehensible and unacceptable”.
The president directed law
enforcement agencies in both states to intensify their current efforts in order
to speedily bring the perpetrators to face the wrath of the law.
“I have always maintained that
nothing justifies the taking of the life of an innocent person.
“People in our communities must
learn to live peacefully,” he said.
Buhari appealed to the
communities affected not to embark on reprisal attacks, but to allow security
agencies to carry out comprehensive investigations to properly punish the
culprits.
He commiserated with the families
of the victims and wished the injured faster recovery.
Meanwhile, Governor Wike has
placed a N200million bounty on perpetrators of Omoku killings.
