Kajuru: Atiku Condemns Killings In Nigeria, Tells Security Agents What To Do

Atiku Urges Security Operatives To End Killings In Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has condemned in strong terms, the spate of killings and general insecurity across the country.

He also called on security agents to track down the culprits and make them pay for the atrocities committed.

Atiku, in a personally signed message on Monday as made available to Naija News, particularly condemned the recent killing of a British aid worker, Faye Mooney and her Nigerian colleague, Mathew Oguche as well as the kidnap of 3 other workers.

Recall this online platform earlier reported that the kidnappers who struck the Kajuru Castle in Kaduna have demanded a N60 million ransom for the release of those kidnapped.

He added that Nigeria must end the feelings of insecurity surrounding the nation if it wants to keep the ‘desperately needed friends, partners and investors.’

In his words; “We need to keep Nigeria safe for Nigerians and foreigners. The death of any Nigerian or foreigner from terror, crime or insecurity grieves my heart. Nobody’s life is worth taking to advance a religious, political or criminal cause.”

“I condemn the killing of British aid worker, Faye Mooney, and her Nigerian colleague, Mathew Oguche. I condemn these recent killings in the strongest possible terms and I want the government and people of the United Kingdom to know that these atrocious actions do not reflect Nigeria’s national character.”

“These killings must end or Nigeria will lose desperately needed friends, partners and investors. Not only do I condemn this recent killing, but I make an urgent call for the federal and state authorities to track down the culprits and make them pay for their crimes. The time for empty rhetoric is long gone. Now is the time for urgent national action to stem insecurity.”

“Nigeria must once again become synonymous with peace, progress and prosperity. This can only happen when crime and punishment are a natural cause and effect.”

“As long as there is impunity, our nation will lack unity and security. Impunity must end and must end today. These crimes continue to reoccur because previous killings have not been met with justice.”

“When the punishment for crimes are not forthcoming, criminals are emboldened to commit even worse crimes.”
