President Bola Tinubu has condemned the killing of seven hunters in Uromi, Esan North Local Government Area of Edo State, and ordered security agencies to hunt down the culprits.
Speaking through his special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu described the act as “dastardly” and called for the swift arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators.
He assured the victims’ families that the government would not tolerate acts of jungle justice and that every Nigerian has the right to move freely within the country.
Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State had earlier ordered a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
Okpebholo described the killings as “barbaric and condemnable.”
The governor’s Chief Security Officer, Solomon Osaghale, had earlier confirmed that over four persons have been arrested in connection with the killings.
