President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the police force to ensure the arrest of those involved in the killing of three University of Port Harcourt students reportedly murdered by their kidnappers and their bodies buried in a shallow grave in April.
This is apart from one of the suspects arrested.
The president gave the order on Sunday in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu.
The president said his administration would continue to equip the law enforcement and security agencies to bring to an end the evil activities of kidnappers in the country.
The president commiserated with the families of the students.
He extended his condolences to the university authorities and the Rivers State Government over the unfortunate incident.
Describing the tragic occurrence as “sad and heinous,” President Buhari regrets that the “evil perpetrators have cut short the prospectively bright journey of these youths.”
He prays that God would comfort all those who mourned students, and grant their souls eternal rest.
