Aba killings: My govt will not tolerate any acts of treason — Tinubu

In response to the killing of five soldiers in Aba, Abia State, President Bola Tinubu has issued a stern warning to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), emphasizing that his government will not tolerate acts of treason.

The attack coincided with IPOB’s commemoration of Biafra Day.

Expressing his dismay, President Tinubu stated, “I have received yet another disheartening news of the killing of five soldiers by suspected militants of the proscribed terrorist organization, IPOB.”

“Hundreds of them have paid the ultimate price in fulfilment of their duty, while some have experienced the indignity of being manhandled by the people they protect.”

President Tinubu emphasized that such attacks on security personnel are intolerable, stating, “They surely do not deserve the mindless attacks by unruly elements in our society.

The federal government will come down heavily against those who have made it a habit to attack the officers and men of our armed forces needlessly. On no account should anyone, under any guise, have the audacity to kill agents of state.”

Reiterating the government’s resolve, he asserted, “I want to make it clear that the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the armed forces can crush violent non-state actors, making our communities unsafe.”
