President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the attack by gunmen on Rev. Daniel Umaru of EYN Church, Njairi in the Mubi Local Government Area of Adamawa.
The gunmen had, on Tuesday, shot the Pastor, killed two of his sons and kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter.
Buhari, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha condemned the attack when he visited the National Vice-President of EYN Church, Rev. Anthony Ndamsai yesterday, in Mubi.
He assured that the government would definitely take action to ensure those who committed the crime were caught to face the law. He prayed for the quick recovery of Rev. Umaru who is currently receiving treatment.
Buhari also solicited more prayers from religious leaders for lasting peace in the country.
Ndamsai thanked SGF for the sympathy visit and for identifying with them.
He urged the Federal Government to redouble efforts in the area of security of lives and property of citizens.
According to him, if need be, Nigeria should seek the support of international communities to complement the effort of the government on security.
The SGF had earlier condoled Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Mustapha and family members over the demise of Muahammad Barkindo, outgoing Secretary-General, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
He also inspected some of the ongoing federal roads in Song, Gombi and Hong LGAs of Adamawa as well as the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Hong.
