The president who expressed shock at the act in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga directed the police and other security agencies to conduct swift and thorough investigations and punish the culprits.

He commiserated with the families of the affected victims and assured them that criminals would not be allowed to shed the blood of innocent Nigerians in vain. He said jungle justice has no place in Nigeria, and all Nigerians have the freedom to move freely in any part of the country.

Chairman of the NGF and governor of Gombe State, Inuwa Yahaya, in a press release by his media aide, Isma’ila Uba Misilli yesterday expressed condolences to families of the victims and all those affected by the tragic event.

“This appalling act undermines the rule of law and the very fabric of our society. It is imperative that the relevant authorities conduct a full and thorough investigation into this senseless act. The perpetrators must be identified, arrested, and brought to justice swiftly,” he said.

Describing the killings as barbaric, inhumane, and devilish, the deputy senate president appealed to the Edo State Police Command and other security agencies to take decisive action to bring the culprits to justice.

Senator Barau, in a statement by his special adviser on media and publicity, Alhaji Ismail Mudashir, called for calm, assuring that the perpetrators would not go unpunished.

He disclosed his intention to sponsor a motion in the Senate to ensure that those responsible for the killings are held accountable.

“I have been inundated with calls by my constituents and other Nigerians on the horrific murder of innocent individuals in Edo State. I condemn in totality the barbaric killing of innocent Nigerians.

“I hereby appeal to our security agencies to quickly swing into action to arrest these evildoers and ensure that they are punished in line with the gravity of their criminal acts.

“Nigeria is a diverse country. We should, therefore, embrace one another as brothers and sisters for our progress and development,” he said.

Senator Barau offered prayers for the repose of the souls of the victims and urged their families to remain calm, assuring them that the government would ensure justice is served.
