President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the grieving families who lost their loved ones in the incident which led to the death of Dr Chike Akunyili that the perpetrators of the heinous act will face both the judgment of man and that of God.
The President gave the assurance in a statement issued Wednesday by his spokesman, Femi Adesina.
He enjoined security agencies and leaders of thought to work harder to bring an end to the violence being unleashed on innocent Nigerians.
Buhari expressed sadness over what he called “the gruesome killing” of Dr Chike, the husband of the late former Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof Dora Akunyili.
Adesina said the President shared the pain of the offspring of Prof and Dr Akunyili, their families and friends whose lives will never remain the same after what he described as the “inhuman and reprehensible act” that happened in Onitsha, Anambra State.
“President Buhari has fond memories of working with the late Dora Akunyili at the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) and Nigerians will never forget the memory of the amazon, who distinguished herself as a courageous, dependable and patriotic citizen,” the statement added.
