President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the renewed terrorist killings in Kaduna State on Sunday, saying the gruesome nature of recent incidents in Kauran Fawa, Marke, and Ruhiya of Idasu Ward of Giwa Local Government Area has made him especially sad, and the killings are unacceptable.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a statement titled ‘President Buhari condemns gruesome terrorist killings in Kaduna State’.
According to Shehu, bandits have also killed citizens in Kaduna State’s LGAs of Zangon Kataf, Chikun, Birnin Gwari, Igabi, and Kauru over the last week.
Buhari also expressed the nation’s condolences to the Kaduna State government, the people of Zonkwa Chiefdom, and the family of His Highness Nuhu Bature, the Agwam Kajju, on his death.
The President prayed for the repose of the deceased’s souls.
He affirmed that the country’s security forces have turned up the heat on terrorists, who are becoming frustrated and are soft-targeting innocent citizens, looting their assets, burning their homes, and killing them indiscriminately.
He reiterated his directive to the security and intelligence chiefs to do everything they can to destroy the remaining vestiges of the terrorists.
