“This is more than a crime; it is a wake-up call. No child, no woman, no citizen should live under the shadow of such terror,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
“We urge the Government and security agencies to prioritize the safety of citizens above all else — intensify security presence, dismantle kidnap gangs, and ensure justice for victims.
“The safety of the people is the first duty of any Government.”
