President Bola Tinubu has strongly condemned the brutal killing of travelling hunters intercepted by local vigilantes in Uromi, Esan North Local Government Area of Edo State.
Expressing shock at the tragic incident, the President has ordered the police and other security agencies to conduct a swift and thorough investigation to apprehend and prosecute those responsible.
