This was contained in a statement on Tuesday by Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson.

Buhari noted that the “innocent people” were killed through no fault of theirs.

The president expressed that such violence is unacceptable, adding that such attacks cannot be allowed to continue.

He also cautioned Nigerians against the “temptation of taking the law into their hands in the name of revenge because there are no winners in the cycle of violence, only losers.”

“I totally condemn this latest unprovoked violence and counter-attacks on innocent people that had nothing to do with the cause of the violence,” Buhari said.

“Violence on innocent people by anybody and any group is unacceptable and indefensible.

“Hate and bigotry have eaten so deeply and violates the sanctity of life. If we allow this culture of violence to go unchecked, such mobs would destroy law and order.”
