President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the government and people of Benue State on the recent attack on a market in Zaki Biam by unknown gunmen which resulted in the loss of lives.
The President in a statement by his Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, condemned the wicked attack and directed security agencies to begin immediate investigation with a view to bringing the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book.
While sympathising with those who lost loved ones, Buhari also prays that Almighty God will comfort the grieving families and grant the souls of the victims eternal rest.
In the same vein, the President condemned the wanton killings in other parts of the country and challenged security and law enforcement agencies to rise to the occasion and end this blight on the image of the country.
“We must condemn inhuman and unnecessary shedding of human blood all over the country. We seem to have lost value for human life, which is sacred. Man is the glory of God’s creation and nobody has the right to unjustly and unlawfully take another person’s life in a reckless manner,” Adesina quoted the President Buhari as saying.
He enjoined all citizens to learn to live together in peace and brotherhood and not allow little misunderstandings to degenerate into heartless acts capable of straining the bonds of nationhood.
