Buhari expressed the sentiment while condemning the recent attacks on villagers in Zaki Biam, Benue state.
“The president condemns the wicked attack and directs security agencies to begin immediate investigation with a view to bringing the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book,” Buhari said via a statement issued his spokesman, Femi Adesina on Tuesday, March 21.
“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,” he added.
Buhari further urged “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."
The Zaki Biam attack occurred in the popular yam market on Monday, March 20, and left about 30 people dead.
