Kwankwaso Condemns Killing of Northern Travelers in Edo

 Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso has condemned the brutal killing of Northern travelers in Edo State, sparking nationwide outrage. The former presidential candidate and New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) leader described the act as horrifying and unacceptable

The tragic incident, which occurred on March 27, 2025, in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi, Edo State, has been described as a horrifying display of jungle justice. Kwankwaso, in a statement on his official Facebook page on Friday, denounced the killings and called for swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“This attack is a disturbing example of mob injustice and a tragic reminder of the cruelty associated with jungle justice,” he stated. He emphasized that every Nigerian, regardless of their origin, must be free to travel without fear of intimidation or violence.

Calling on security agencies to act decisively, Kwankwaso urged the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and prosecute those responsible. “It is a general perception that citizens all over the country must be able to move about without intimidation or harassment,” he added.

The former Kano State governor also extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the Kano State government, and all affected states. He prayed for the souls of those who lost their lives in the tragic event.

This incident has intensified calls for law enforcement agencies to step up their efforts in ensuring justice is served and reinforcing the safety of travelers across the country. Many Nigerians are now demanding concrete measures to prevent such acts from recurring and to uphold the fundamental right to freedom of movement without fear.

As investigations unfold, the nation watches closely, hoping that swift and fair justice will be delivered.
