President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday spoke on the killing of Philip Shekwo, the All Progressives Congress, APC, chairman in Nasarawa State, warning that the nation’s security system must do more to end the cases of violence in the country.
The president deplored the killing of Shekwo who was abducted Saturday night and found dead on Sunday.
In his reaction, the president welcomed the decision of the Inspector General of Police to send reinforcement of men and materials to the state.
The late APC chairman was shot twice leading to his death.
Police investigation is expected to determine if it was an assassination or kidnapping-related murder.
In his reaction to the tragic incident, President Buhari, while commiserating with the family of the deceased, said: “I strongly condemn the killing of Philip Shekwo. He was kind and jovial. His contribution towards strengthening the party in Nasarawa State will not be forgotten. May his soul Rest in Peace.”
