President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condemned the murder of travelling hunters intercepted by local vigilantes in the Uromi community of Esan North Local Government of Edo State.
The President, who expressed shock at the dastardly act on Thursday, directed that police and other security agencies conduct swift and thorough investigations and punish the suspected culprits.
President Tinubu commiserated with the families of the affected victims and assured them that criminals would not be allowed to shed the blood of innocent Nigerians.
The President noted that jungle justice has no place in Nigeria, and all Nigerians have the freedom to move freely in any part of the country.
He commended the Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and community leaders in Uromi for their swift response to avert the escalation of tension.
