Those Who Attacked Ebonyi Communities, Soludo Won’t Be Spared - President Buhari
Category: Nigeria News
President
Muhammadu Buhari
has condemned the Monday night attack on three communities in Íshíelu Local
Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The President directed law
enforcement agencies to fish out the attackers and make them face justice.
The
affected communities are Egedegede, Obegu and Amuzu communities.
The
Nigerian leader stressed that the perpetrators of the “heinous attacks” must
not be spared.
Buhari extended his sympathies to families and
friends who have lost loved ones and to the communities.
He also
sympathized with the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and a
member of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, Professor Chukwuma
Soludo.
Soludo, a governorship aspirant in Anambra, was
attacked during a town hall meeting in Aguata LGA. Three police escorts
were killed.
“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.”
Buhari 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.
