The United Nations (UN) has condemned the killing of a women leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, Salome Abuh, during the governorship election in the state.
The Deputy Secretary of the UN, Amina Mohammed, expressed the concern of the global body on Tuesday when she was hosted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama.
Mrs Mohammed commended President Muhammadu Buhari for condemning the killing and ordering an investigation.
“No person especially women should have to lose their lives when seeking political office,” Mrs Mohammed said.
She said it is incredibly important to make seeking political office safer.
