The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Lawal Adamu Usman, has condemned the brutal killing of travellers from the North in Uromi, Edo State, calling for a swift and transparent investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
In a statement on Friday, Usman described the killings as barbaric and senseless, stressing that such acts of violence threaten national unity and peace.
He called on the Federal Government, the Edo State Government, and security agencies to act decisively in ensuring justice for the victims.
“The victims, hardworking Nigerians who were merely pursuing their livelihoods, were brutally cut down in the prime of their lives—an unspeakable atrocity that demands immediate and decisive action,” the statement read.
The lawmaker urged authorities to enhance security measures, particularly in vulnerable communities, to prevent further bloodshed.
He also called on government officials and community leaders to engage in dialogue and peace-building initiatives to de-escalate ethnic tensions.
Usman appealed to Northern leaders and all Nigerians to remain calm while pursuing justice, warning against any attempts to exploit the tragedy to incite division or reprisal attacks.
“Nigeria’s strength lies in our diversity, and we must reaffirm our commitment to tolerance, mutual respect, and the sanctity of human life,” he added.
Expressing condolences to the bereaved families, the senator described the loss as a collective tragedy and prayed for strength for those affected.
He emphasized the need for national unity and a collective rejection of violence to foster peace and security in the country.
