President Muhammadu Buhari has described the attack on the convoy of the senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, as “barbaric and condemnable.”
Buhari in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said he is deeply concerned about the activities of armed groups in the region and other parts of the country.
“We are closely monitoring the situation and waiting for further details on the response to the worrisome situation by the police, the military and other security agencies. the statement reads.
“The nation has lost four brave policemen and other aides of the Senator.
“On behalf of the government and the people, I pay homage to these security men and the aides who were brutally murdered. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families at this difficult time.”
The President prayed for the quick recovery of the Senator and all those that were injured. He equally prayed for the early return of peace and security in Anambra State and all other areas.
