Osinbajo Reacts, Condemns Killing Of Jubril And Her Four Children In Anambra State

The Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has reacted to the killing of a pregnant woman and her four children in Anambra State, describing it as a terrible tragedy.

Osinbajo who spoke on Wednesday in Makurdi, the Benue State Capital said added that the killing of the woman, Mrs. Harira Jubril and her children is a callous act that must be condemned.

The Vice President made his view known while speaking with journalists shortly after meeting with delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State.

He said all Nigerians must be careful and avoid the degeneration of the situation which he pointed out is capable of becoming an ethnic war.

“What took place in Anambra with the killing of a woman and her children demeans us all. It is such a callous act and so brutal. And I think that we must be very careful, as a people, with this type of killings that are going on, especially where it is obviously to create such horror, annoyance and create a situation where we begin to have ethnic conflicts again and all that,” Osinbajo said.

He added that “And I think we must all be careful and condemn it in the strongest possible terms, there is no excuse for it whatsoever. We must not allow a situation where we get to the point where we even countenance individuals who can do this sort of thing.

“How does anyone kill a woman and her children? I think it is such a terrible tragedy condemnable by all. Mr President has spoken about it and I just want to join my voice with those of others who are completely outraged by it.”
