President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the families of three University of Port Harcourt students reportedly murdered by their kidnappers and their bodies buried in a shallow grave in April.
The President also extended condolences to the university authorities and the Rivers State Government over the unfortunate incident.
Describing the tragic occurrence as “sad and heinous,” President Buhari regretted that the “evil perpetrators have cut short the prospectively bright journey of these youths.”
He prayed that God will comfort all those who mourn these young students, and grant their souls eternal rest.
President Buhari, while noting that the Nigerian Police Anti-Kidnapping Unit has apprehended one of the suspected perpetrators, further directs the Police Authorities to intensify search for the remaining suspects and bring them to justice.

I killed them because of N4m - Leader of kidnapping gang that killed three UNIPORT, RSU students tells police (photos)
The Rivers state police command has paraded five suspected killers of three University students in the state.
Recall that on May 1, LIB shared the story of how the Anti-cultism unit of Rivers State police command, arrested members of a kidnapping gang who abducted and killed three students - Nelson Nwafor and Fortune Obemba, both students of the Rivers State University, RSU; and Joy Adoki, a student of Management Science in the University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT.
The undergraduates were kidnapped on April 7 2020. After an extensive investigation, the suspects were arrested and one of them led security operatives to the shallow grave where the three students were buried.
Briefing journalists at the police headquaters in Port Harcourt, Commissioner of police, Joseph Gobum Mukan said the three victims were kidnapped at Choba.
Mukan said one AK-47, three magazines and 72 rounds of live ammunition were recovered from the kidnappers.
Leader of the gang, Bright Iheachi, who led police to the arrest of other gang members, said he ordered the killing because one of the victims ran away with his N4 million. He said the initial target was Nelson Nwafor who he claims betrayed him and fled to Ghana with his N4 million share of an undisclosed deal they struck last year.
He said he organized for Nelson to be kidnapped. However, on the day of the abduction, Nelson was with Fortune and Joy who were then abducted along with him.
Quote:“I was the person that ordered my colleagues to kill the three of them, but it was Nelson that I had wanted them to kill, but I later changed my mind and decided that the three of them be killed” he said.
Mr Bright Obemba, the distraught father of late Fortune, said the boy was his only son. He said no amount of money given to him would bring back his son.
President Buhari has since condemned the attack and has ordered that justice must be served.
Late Joy Adoki
Late Nelson Nwafor and Fortune Obimba
