Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Minister, Mr Jonathan Eze, released on behalf of the minister, strongly condemning the killing and demanded justice for Salome and her family.

As a mother, I have not been able to come to terms with the senseless killing and dismembering of the body of a promising lady, Miss Salome Saidu. It is senseless and brutish, and such act, has no place in our society, the Minister said.

“It is high time parents and the Nigerian communities takes ownership of the safety and protection of women and girls and our children. See something and say something. We cannot continue like this.

“The right to life are non-negotiable human rights that must be respected and protected at all times.

“The Ministry calls on the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Salome’s death and to bring the perpetrator to justice.

“Together, we can create a society where women and girls can live free from fear of violence and abuse.
