Fish out attackers of Katsina communities – President Tinubu orders security agencies

Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday directed the security agencies to fish out the masterminded behind the attack of two communities in Kankara LGA of Katsina state.

The Informant247 gathered that the police command in Katsina, on Monday, confirmed that suspected bandits killed about 20 people in the Gidan Bofa and Dan Nakwabo communities of the LGA on Sunday.

Abubakar Sadiq, police spokesperson in Katsina, said the bandits also killed four officers — three inspectors and one corporal — as well as two members of the Katsina State Community Watch Corps (KSCWC) in an ambush.

In a statement, Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, described the attacks as “grisly and sinister.”

He said the president commiserates with the families of the deceased and the Katsina government

“President Bola Tinubu strongly condemns the recent spate of attacks against citizens in Dutsin-Ma and Kankara Local Government Areas of Katsina State,” the statement reads.

“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.”
