“In particular, I condemn, in totality, the unfortunate killing of some crew members of Supersports TV, who were attacked in a tragic ambush along the Ihiala-Orlu Road, Anambra State, a few days ago.
“These media practitioners were on their way to Uyo to perform official duty for their medium and, indeed, the nation when the tragic incident happened, resulting in their death and the kidnap of others.
“These violent attacks, many of which go unreported, have now continued to define our daily existence in our once-secured nation.
“We are gradually losing count of the people who have lost their lives to insecurity in our nation.”
