Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has reacted to the killing of
a pregnant woman, Mrs. Harira Jubril and her children in Anambra State,
describing the crime as not only callous, but brutal and demeaning.
He expressed fears that the incident was capable of creating
ethnic conflict across the country and hence must be condemned by all and
sundry.
The Vice President stated this on Wednesday, while speaking
with journalists shortly after meeting All Progressives Congress (APC)
delegates in Makurdi, Benue State in continuation of his nationwide
consultations with party delegates and other stakeholders ahead of the APC
presidential primaries.
“What took place in Anambra with the killing of a woman and
her children demeans us all. It is such a callous act and so brutal. And I
think that we must be very careful, as a people, with this type of killings
that are going on, especially where it is obviously to create such horror,
annoyance and create a situation where we begin to have ethnic conflicts again
and all that.
“And I think we must all be careful and condemn it in the
strongest possible terms, there is no excuse for it whatsoever. We must not
allow a situation where we get to the point where we even countenance
individuals who can do this sort of thing.
“How does anyone kill a woman and her children? I think it
is such a terrible tragedy condemnable by all. Mr President has spoken about it
and I just want to join my voice with those of others who are completely
outraged by it.”
Earlier, President Muhammadu Buhari had strongly condemned what he described as “wild, barbarous and wanton killings of innocent people” in the South-East as well as the other parts of the country, which he also described as “deeply distressing.” The President then warned the perpetrators of these acts to expect tough responses from the security forces.

These killers are very stupid. Y kill an innocent woman who only traveled your route or even only live with you? you wan to join the idiots in the North who derive pleasure in shading blood for fake religious reasons? We are first humans before we talk about tribes and religion. treat everyone as God's creation and apple of His Eyes. How many lives have you created? now that u killed her, have you won any trophies from your sponsors? God will judge you and the hidden authorities sponsoring you all.
