In the Rivers State incident, no fewer than 21 people were killed by some unknown gunmen who invaded the community located in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) local government area of Rivers State.

Some of the victims were said to be returning from church when they were attacked.

Reacting on the incident in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Buhari described the killings as “reprehensible and unacceptable.”

“I have always maintained that nothing justifies the taking of the life of an innocent person,” he said, adding that “people in our communities must learn to live peacefully.”

President Buhari appealed to the communities affected not to embark on reprisal attacks, but allow the security agencies to carry out comprehensive investigations to properly punish the culprits.

He commiserated with the families of the victims and wished the injured faster recovery.
