According to the President, his administration will do everything possible to stop the trend which has started rearing its ugly head in the country.
Yar'Adua said this through the Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan, at the formal launch of Kaduna State anti-crime outfit, “Operation Yaki,” on Wednesday.
"We use this opportunity to formally inform this country that this administration, headed by Yar'Adua, will never tolerate the ugly past where we had political murders in this country.
"Only few days ago, a couple of days ago, a local government chairman in Kogi State was murdered; and we believe it was a political assassination.
"We will do everything to make sure that the culprits are brought to book because we can never allow another round of political killings in our country."
Against this backdrop, he enjoined other state governors to form their own anti-crime outfits to combat the upsurge of violent crimes in the country.
"We cannot afford the recycling of criminals. Therefore I would suggest that due emphasis be placed on intelligence gathering and grassroots campaigns targeted at value reorientation," he stated.
Earlier, the governor, dressed in police uniform, asserted that the establishment of the anti-crime agency has become imperative because of the increasing rate of violent crimes and other related crimes in the state.
About 700 security personnel, comprising Army and the Police Force are involved in the anti-crime combat, with 75 Toyota Hillux vehicles equipped with communication gadgets and a helicopter from the police headquarters.
