President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the killing of Mrs Bridget Agbahime, an Igbo market woman in Kano.

Buhari who described the developments that led to the killing as sad and regrettable, condoled with the husband of the deceased, Pastor Mike Agbahime, the family, relations and prayed that God would give them the fortitude to bear the loss.

He also commended the law enforcement agents for apprehending the prime suspect behind the killing, as well as the Kano State government, which summoned a meeting of Christian and Islamic leaders, widower of the deceased, and security agencies, following the sad event on Friday.

Buhari said justice would be done in the matter, and urged the people not to take the law into their hands, charging those who may want to use the development to fan the embers of religious or ethnic hatred to remember that two wrongs never make a right, and that when law and order breaks down, those who become victims are never distinguished on the basis of religion or ethnicity.

The President said the incident at Kofar Wambai market, Kano city, was utterly condemnable, and the state government has been quite proactive.

He urged everyone to ensure that they keep the peace, as justice would be done, saying let one learn to respect each other’s faith, so that they could know each other and live together in peace.
