President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock over the killing and abduction of the siblings of former Bauchi State Governor and ex-National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Mu’azu.
Gunmen had recently abducted the brother and sister of Mu’azu in Bauchi State.
Buhari, however, vowed to do everything possible to crush the bandits.
He said this via a statement issued on Sunday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
Buhari said: “I am shocked and outraged by the story of the killing of your brother and the abduction of your sister by bandits.
“This double tragedy is particularly moving. I know it’s hard to cope with the weight of this tragedy in your family. I feel your pain.

“Let me use this opportunity to re-assure you and other Nigerians currently facing threats from the atrocities of the bandits that I will leave no stone unturned to ensure these enemies of humanity are finally crushed and decisively defeated.”
While sympathising with the former national chairman of the PDP, President Buhari stressed that security operatives were working to come up with the solution to the lingering challenge.
“Security is my constant concern and I have kept the service chiefs on their toes to ensure that they come up with a decisive solution to end this menace,” he said.
The President further prayed to God “to forgive the soul of the deceased and grant the family fortitude to overcome this double tragedy.”
