President Muhammadu Buhari will soon take a decisive action on last week\u2019s killing of three policemen in Wukari, Taraba State by soldiers allegedly mistaken for kidnappers, the Presidency said last night.<\/p>\n\n\n
The three officers and a civilian killed by soldiers were said to be on legitimate criminal investigation activities to Taraba State, to arrest one Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume, allegedly indicted in a series of high-profile kidnap incidents in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n
To get to the root of the matter, President Buhari constituted an investigative panel during the National Security Council meeting at the Presidential Villa last Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said Buhari was waiting for the outcome of the investigation by the Defence Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n
The presidential spokesman on his Twitter handle, @GarShehu, wrote: \u201cIn response to press questions, I will confirm that a committee was set up during the National Security Council meeting to investigate the killing of three policemen and a civilian by soldiers in Taraba State.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
In another tweet Shehu wrote: \u201cContrary to those mischievous insinuations, President Buhari had ordered the Chief of Defence Staff to set up an investigation committee with representatives from all the security organisations in the country, including the police force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
He clarified that Buhari was not indifferent stating that \u201cThe President is not indifferent to the unfortunate incident, and would take decisive action as soon as the report of the panel is submitted to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cHe is following due process and procedure. Putting the cart before the horse is not President Buhari\u2019s way of doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cNigerians should show patience while the President awaits the report of the panel from the Chief of Defence Staff.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
