President Muhammadu Buhari says the murder of Abdulkarim Na’Allah, son of former Deputy Senate Majority Leader and serving senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, underscores the failure of his regime to solve Nigeria’s current security challenges.
“The death of Abdulkareem is another tragic chapter in our current security challenges, but I reassure Nigerians that my commitment to protect the lives and property of all Nigerians remains unwavering,” Mr Buhari said in a statement by his spokesperson Garba Shehu on Monday.
While consoling Na’Allah’s family, Mr Buhari urged citizens to support security agencies with intelligence for the country to overcome its security challenges.
“I’m saddened by the tragic loss of Abdulkareem and other victims of violence and I wish to appeal to Nigerians to help our security agencies with intelligence in order to track down and bring these terrorist gangs to justice,” Mr Buhari further stressed.
Mr Na’Allah, a 36-year-old aviator, was on Saturday killed in his home in Kaduna state.
The Commissioner of Police in Kaduna, Mudasiru Abdullahi, said the police has launched a full-scale investigation into the murder.
