The press release reads: “I want to use this opportunity to call on the perpetrators of this
dastardly act to desist forthwith, as government will not fold its arm and watch hapless citizens murdered in their homes. Life is irreparable and no one is permitted to take the life of another.

“As a government, we urge all to remain calm and not to take laws into their hands as government will use everything within its powers to ensure that the perpetrators of this dastardly acts will face justice.

“I also call on security agencies to improve their security architecture in intelligence gathering, securing lives and property and also fish out the killers of our people. The forces of good will surely overcome that of evil.”
