“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,” Buhari said.
The president enjoined all citizens to learn to live together in peace and brotherhood and not to allow little misunderstandings degenerate into heartless acts capable of straining the bonds of nationhood.
He 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 loss of lives.
He 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.
Buhari, who sympathised with those who lost loved ones, also prayed that Almighty God comfort the grieving families and grant the souls of the victims eternal rest.
The president was separately briefed by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
Addressing State House correspondents later, Buratai said they assured Buhari of their “absolute” loyalty with a pledge to discharge their constitutional responsibilities.
