President Bola Tinubu has ordered security agencies to go after terrorists who killed over 20 villagers in Katsina State.
Recall that terrorists had raided two communities in Kankara Local Government Areas of Katsina State and reportedly killed 26 people.
The attack occurred on Monday, June 10 at about 3:00pm.
While confirming the attack, the police had said bandits, armed with dangerous weapons, attacked Gidan Boka village, killing 20 villagers and injuring two others.
But reacting in a statement issued by his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale on Tuesday, Tinubu strongly condemned the recent spate of attacks against citizens in Dutsin-Ma and Kankara Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
“While describing the latest attacks as grisly and sinister, the President emphasizes that more will be done to secure citizens and completely degrade terrorists and other harbingers of death and sorrow in any part of the country.
“President Tinubu directs security agencies to go after the assailants and ensure that they are brought to justice.
“The President condoles with the families of the deceased, as well as the Government and people of Katsina State, and prays for the repose of the souls of the departed.”
