We need to keep
Nigeria safe for Nigerians and foreigners. The death of any Nigerian or
foreigner from terror, crime or insecurity grieves my heart. Nobody’s life is
worth taking to advance a religious, political or criminal cause.
I condemn the killing
of British aid worker, Faye Mooney, and her Nigerian partner, Mathew Oguche two
days ago in Kaduna State. Several other Nigerians were kidnapped during the
episode. I want the government and people of the United Kingdom to know that these
atrocious actions do not reflect Nigeria’s national character.
These killings must
end or Nigeria will lose desperately needed friends, partners and investors.
Not only do I condemn this recent killing, but I make an urgent call for the
federal and state authorities to track down the culprits and make them pay for
their crimes. The time for empty rhetoric is long gone. Now is the time for
urgent national action to stem insecurity.
Nigeria must once
again become synonymous with peace, progress and prosperity. This can only
happen when crime and punishment are a natural cause and effect.
As long as there is
impunity, our nation will lack unity and security. Impunity must end and must
end in earnest. These crimes continue to reoccur because previous killings have
not been met with justice.
When the punishment
for crimes are not forthcoming, criminals are emboldened to commit even worse
crimes.
