President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered a “scrupulous investigation” into the killing of Achejuh Abuh, woman
leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Wada/Aro campaign council, Kogi
state.
Abuh was burnt to death after the
just concluded gubernatorial election in Kogi.
In a statement on Sunday, Buhari
condemned the killing, wondering what could spur anyone to take the life of
another human being.
“President Buhari charges all
security agencies involved in the investigation to do a thorough and
expeditious job on the matter, so that justice could be served without fear or
favor,” the president said in a statement Femi Adesina, his spokesman, issued
on his behalf.
“We must learn to behave
decently, whether during elections or at other times. No life should be taken
wantonly under any guise, and the fact that this reprehensible act occurred two
days after voting shows primitive behavior, which should not be accepted in a
decent society.”
He sympathised with the family of
the deceased, vowing that the law would catch up with the killers and justice
would be done.
“Any descent to barbarism, as was
visited on the PDP woman leader has gone out of the realm of politics, and is
pure criminality and bestiality,” he said.
“Such evildoers must be brought
to justice, irrespective of whatever allegiances they hold.”
