President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the killing of
three University of Port Harcourt students by kidnappers.
NigerianEye reported earlier that the decomposing bodies of
three persons; one female and two males who were students of the University of
Port Harcourt were recovered in a forest in Ete-O community in Eleme Local
Government Area of Rivers State.
Police personnel attached to the Anti-Kidnap Unit of Rivers
State Police command in an investigation into the kidnap of the victims
arrested one of the members of the kidnap gang who took the team to the shallow
grave where the murdered students were buried.
The President commiserated with the families of the students
murdered by their kidnappers and their bodies buried in a shallow grave in
April.
He also extends condolences to the university authorities
and the Rivers State Government over the unfortunate incident.
This was contained in a statement on Sunday,
signed by Garba Shehu, the President’s Spokesman.
Buhari described the tragic occurrence as “sad and heinous,”
regretting that the “evil perpetrators have cut short the prospectively bright
journey of these youths.”
He prayed that God will comfort all those who mourn these
young students, and grant their souls eternal rest.
President Buhari, while noting that the Nigerian Police
Anti-Kidnapping Unit has apprehended one of the suspected perpetrators, further
directed the Police Authorities to intensify search for the remaining suspects
and bring them to justice.
According to the President, “This administration will
continue to equip the law enforcement and security agencies to bring to an end
the evil activities of kidnappers in the country.”
