President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the reported assassination Thursday of the Katsina State Commissioner of Science and Technology, Dr. Rabe Nasir, describing his killing as a heinous and condemnable act, adding that there is no place for such violence in our country.

The President, in a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said he was deeply anguished by the tragic killing of this up and coming leader who had served his community, state and the nation with utmost diligence.
“My thoughts are with the bereaved family,” the President said.

He urged the law enforcement agencies to do a thorough investigation and bring to justice all those who were behind the dastardly act.
