Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed sadness over the gruesome murder of three students of the University of Port Harcourt.
While commiserating with the families of the three UNIPORT students reportedly murdered by their kidnappers and their bodies buried in a shallow grave in April, Buhari extended condolences to the authorities of UNIPORT and the Rivers State Government.
Describing the tragic occurrence as “sad and heinous,” President Buhari regretted that the “evil perpetrators have cut short the prospectively bright journey of these youths.”
He prayed that God will comfort all those who mourn these young students, and grant their souls eternal rest.
President Buhari, while noting that the Nigerian Police Anti-Kidnapping Unit has apprehended one of the suspected perpetrators, further directs the Police Authorities to intensify search for the remaining suspects and bring them to justice.
According to the President, “This administration will continue to equip the law enforcement and security agencies to bring to an end the evil activities of kidnappers in the country.”
