The death of any Nigerian or foreigner from terror, crime or insecurity grieves my heart. Nobody\u2019s life is worth taking to advance a religious, political or criminal cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI condemn the killing of British aid worker, Faye Mooney, and her Nigerian partner, Mathew Oguche two days ago in Kaduna State. Several other Nigerians were kidnapped during the episode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want the government and people of the United Kingdom to know that these atrocious actions do not reflect Nigeria\u2019s national character.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese killings must end or Nigeria will lose desperately needed friends, partners and investors. Not only do I condemn this recent killing, but I make an urgent call for the federal and state authorities to track down the culprits and make them pay for their crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time for empty rhetoric is long gone. Now is the time for urgent national action to stem insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria must once again become synonymous with peace, progress and prosperity. This can only happen when crime and punishment are a natural cause and effect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as there is impunity, our nation will lack unity and security. Impunity must end and must end in earnest. These crimes continue to reoccur because previous killings have not been met with justice.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last election, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, has reacted to the killing of Miss Faye Mooney, a Briton, in the recent attack on Kajuru.
