Peter Obi stated, “Ugly acts like these are reported from different parts of the country on a daily basis, and it is saddening. “Such acts of terrorism, violence, and criminality are highly condemnable. The high level of insecurity that has continued to plague our nation has continued to clog up the nation’s wheel of progress.

“I restate my commitment to the fight against insecurity as my first priority in governance when voted into power. I am saddened by the lives lost during the attack; one life lost to insecurity, is one too many. I pray to God to grant the victims eternal rest.

“May God also comfort the bereaved families? I call on the security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of such acts and bring them to book. -Peter Obi.” Recall that unknown gunmen on Friday attacked the convoy of Apostle Suleman, along Benin–Auchi Road, Edo State, and killed three cops and four others.

Recall that Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, has disputed a police report that claimed one of the gang members who allegedly attacked his convoy yesterday was killed in a shootout with officers along the Auchi expressway. He noted that the suspect had been apprehended and turned over to the authorities.

Suleman who made the rebuttal on his Twitter page asked why the security operatives killed a suspect who could have led to the unraveling of the perpetrators behind the deadly attack.

His words: “Lies…there (they) weren’t kidnappers… He was caught and handed over and the police killed him immediately…why?..why killing him on the spot? Who is trying to cover up traces?”
