Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has condemned the gruesome murder of a pregnant Hausa woman, Mrs. Harira Jubril and her children in Anambra State by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
While describing the crime as not only callous, but brutal and demeaning, the VP also expressed fears that the incident was capable of creating ethnic conflict across the country.
Osinbajo stated this on Wednesday, while speaking with newsmen shortly after meeting All Progressives Congress (APC) delegates in Makurdi, Benue State.
He said: “What took place in Anambra with the killing of a woman and her children demeans us all. It is such a callous act and so brutal. And I think that we must be very careful, as a people, with this type of killings that are going on, especially where it is obviously to create such horror, annoyance and create a situation where we begin to have ethnic conflicts again and all that.
“And I think we must all be careful and condemn it in the strongest possible terms, there is no excuse for it whatsoever. We must not allow a situation where we get to the point where we even countenance individuals who can do this sort of thing.
