President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that with the constant violence in the Southeast subregion of Nigeria, his government is now reviewing the law and order in the area.
The President, in a statement on March 20, strongly condemned as “deeply distressing” the destruction in Imo State, of buildings and assets of the Police and the home of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Professor George Obiozor, and concluded that such incidences will soon be things of the past.
“The law and order situation in the entire Southeast is being reviewed,” Buhari said even as he called on the people of Imo State in particular and the subregion in general, to maintain peace as the police and other agencies are working to ensure that normalcy is restored at the earliest.
He sympathized with the police authorities over the losses of men and materials, and to Professor Obiozor who he begged to maintain his commitment to the peace and oneness of the Federation against these odds.
The statement was issued by the Senior Special Assistant on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu.
