President Muhammadu Buhari described the attack on Benue State Governor as an unacceptable, warning, however, that the incident should not be politicised.
Buhari welcomed the deployment of a high-level team of crack investigators to the state from the Police headquarters in Abuja, calling on the officers to fish out the perpetrators of the attack and bring them to justice.
President Buhari says the unfortunate incident must not be politicized, reiterating that an attack on one Nigerian is an attack on all Nigerians.
The Nigerian leader, therefore, directed the Police to undertake a thorough investigation into the incident involving the governor and into all such incidents affecting individuals and communities in the state.
