President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday condemned the killing of nine female health workers shot dead at community health centres during seperate attacks in Kano State.

Reacting to the killings, President Goodluck Jonathan ordered security agencies to provide maximum security to health workers who are engaged in administering polio vaccines to children in high risk areas.

Jonathan condemned “the dastardly terrorist attacks in Kano State which claimed the lives of health workers who were dutifully engaged in vaccinations to protect and save the lives of Nigerian children.”

The female health workers were Friday morning shot dead at community health centres during seperate attacks in Kano State.

Eyewitness told Vanguard that that the first offensive on the polio workers which started at Filin Kashu, Ungwa-Uku General area left two dead and four others critically injured.

The sources said that the gunmen who moved about on tricycles arrived at the community health centre by 9.00am and opened fire on the defenseless paramedics before escaping in the ensuing pandemonium

Seven other female health workers were also killed at the Community Health Centre, Hotoro Haye.

It was gathered that the assailants also went to the health centre on a tricycle and sprayed the female workers with bullets while on duty.

Commenting on the development, the Kano Commissioner of Health, Dr Abubakar Yusuf explained that “six were shot at Ungwa-Uku but two died while 4 survived”.

The state Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, Kano Police Command, ASP, Magaji Majia confirmed that “nine female health workers were shot dead in separate attacks.”

Majia further stated that the “the dead bodies of the nine female health workers have been deposited at the Murtala Muhammad Hospital mortuary in the city,” adding however that “no arrests have been made in connection with the killings, but investigations have commenced.

Thats all he can do. Condemn.

Aside condemnation what next?

Just condemnation? Never even mentioning how the evil perpetrators would be brought to book.
Since he has been condemning every evil act, what has been the result? Apparently nothing cos the people never changed for once or even tried repenting.
Obasanjo, i trust u!!!

pDude: Thats all he can do. Condemn.

Yeah actually the journalist forgot to add that mr president left aso rock yesterday in search of the killers,
Since its now the duty of the executive arm to catch and purnish offenders.....

How can people do this on tricycle and still get away? Is tricycles that fast?

How then can there be development?

Any gang war or organised crime
targeted at health workers,
hospital patients, orphans, students,
pupils and defenseless citizens is a
cowardly act. It should be
condemned by all and sundary. If the terrorists have any presentable
reservation against the Polio
project they should say it; but if
bkos they are in a hurry to commit
suicide, and wish that the lives of
younger genrations epitomised by babies who deserve preventable
health vacines against deadly
diseases should be forsaken; then
they terrorists do not deserve fresh
air or peace for their ungodly
resoves.

He went on nationals tv, and declared the shooting as a SERIOUS and GRAVE national crisis that has to be urgently dealt with.
And this is a general problem in America. It isnt isolated. Every single American is complicit in this issue, but still efforts are been applied to end this madness...
A bill be been currently drafted, and it will be moved around the American senate starting this month....
But here, we know the people behind Bokoharam. Ndume, and the rest, and most PDP members....And these guys are still collecting federal allocations, and salaries...
Talk about comparing the brain-dead-useless-and impotent GEJ with a real leader like OBama
