Bandits have killed the brother and kidnapped the sister of a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Muazu.
This was revealed in a condolence message by President Muhammadu Buhari to the ex-National Chairman of the PDP.
In the statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, President 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.
“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.”
President Buhari prayed to God “to forgive the soul of the deceased and grant the family fortitude to overcome this double tragedy”.
