Buhari Orders Thorough Probe Of Imo Monarch's Murder

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered an investigation into the murder of the traditional ruler of the Obudi-Agwa community in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, Ignitus Asor.

Naija News reports that daredevil gunmen, on Monday, invaded the traditional ruler’s palace and opened fire on him and four other persons during a meeting.

The monarch, two palace chiefs, and two other members of the community were reported dead in the incident.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, President Buhari condemned the murder of the traditional ruler and other members of his community by gunmen.

The President directed security agencies in the state to thoroughly investigate the dastardly act and ensure that the perpetrators face the full wrath of the law.

Buhari, however, commiserated with the family of the bereaved, the Obudi-Agwa community, and all those affected by the attacks. He also prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured.

The statement reads: “The President directs security agencies in the state to thoroughly investigate the dastardly act and ensure that the perpetrators face the full wrath of the law.

“While commiserating with family, friends, the Obudi-Agwa community, as well as all those affected by the attacks, the president prays for the speedy recovery of those injured.

“President Buhari acknowledges the spirited efforts by the Imo state government at improving the security situation and encourages all Imo residents and citizens to robustly support the collective efforts of state actors and members of the local community to keep everyone safe.”
