Buhari orders arrest of Enugu LP Senatorial candidate's killers

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the killing of Chief Oyibo Chukwu, the Labour Party (LP) senatorial candidate for Enugu East Senatorial District and his personal aide. 

The President, in a statement issued Friday by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, directed security agencies to track down the culprits of the "heinous crime".

The attack occurred in Awkunanaw, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State. Buhari, who said the perpetrators had no respect for human life and dignity, affirmed his commitment to an election that is peaceful and devoid of violence.

The President reminded all political actors that the choice of the electorate would count and urged all eligible Nigerians to boldly exercise their civic rights without any fear of intimidation.

Buhari condoled with the families of the victims, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), and the Labour Party, praying for the repose of the souls of the deceased and comfort for those who mourned. 

The President called for the culprits to face the full wrath of the law.
