    Tinubu Issues Riot Act Over Abia Killings

    President Bola Tinubu has ordered security agents to go after the killers of five soldiers in Aba, Abia State and those behind the call for sit-at-home in South-East.

    Tinubu said on no account should anyone, under any guise, have the audacity to kill agents of the state.
    This was contained in a statement on Saturday night.

    The President, who was reacting to the murder of five soldiers in Aba on Thursday, May 30, by elements suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, warned that the Federal Government will come down heavily against those who have made it a habit to needlessly attack officers and men of our armed forces.

    The statement reads: “I have received yet another disheartening news of the killing of five soldiers by suspected militants of the proscribed terrorist organization, IPOB.

    “The slain soldiers were on peacekeeping duty in Aba, Abia State on Thursday when they were murdered, just two months after a similar tragic incident happened in Okuama in Delta state.

    “These unwarranted barbaric and evil acts stand condemned and should never be condoned and tolerated in our country.

    “Our soldiers and the police have the onerous duty to protect all of us from aggressors and non-state actors. Hundreds of them have paid the ultimate price in fulfilment of their duty, while some have experienced the indignity of being manhandled by the people they protect.

    “They surely do not deserve the mindless attacks by unruly societal elements.

    “The federal government will come down heavily against those who have made it a habit to attack the officers and men of our armed forces needlessly.

    “On no account should anyone, under any guise, have the audacity to kill agents of state.

    “I want to make it clear that the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the armed forces can crush violent non-state actors, making our communities unsafe.

    “I urge security agencies not only to fish out the masterminds and perpetrators of the Aba attack but also those calling on people to stay at home. Their action is nothing but a treasonable offence.

    “The fact that the security forces exercise necessary restraints should not be mistaken for weakness.
    “We are working to build a peaceful and harmonious society, but nobody should be under any illusion that the government will not act appropriately when the lives of our officers and men are wantonly taken.

    “While my condolences go to the families of the five slain soldiers, their colleagues and the leadership of our armed forces, I urge other men and women on peacekeeping duty not to be discouraged by the unfortunate incident in Aba.”
