President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday night condemned the
“heinous and senseless” killing of Omobolanle Raheem, a member of the Nigerian
Bar Association (NBA), shot by on-duty policemen on Christmas Day.
Buhari said he was deeply shocked and saddened to learn of
the brutal killing of Raheem.
The President also directed the police authorities to take
“the strongest possible action” against the culprits already detained.
This was disclosed in a statement by Garba Shehu, the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, on Tuesday.
Buhari said this incident is a stark reminder of the
recurring menace of the mishandling of weapons and a wakeup call to law
enforcement agencies, including the Police, to ensure the full implementation
of reforms instituted by the administration on the subject of weapons handling
as well as the protection of the rights of citizens.
“In this hour of grief, the nation stands in solidarity with
the bereaved family and the NBA. I assure you that justice will be done in this
case,” the President said.
