Ahmed Aliyu, the Sokoto State Governor, on Tuesday, visited the three communities that were attacked by bandits last Saturday.
The Governor, who was accompanied by his deputy, Idris Gobir, heads of security agencies in the state and the Sultan of Sokoto, during the visit, condemned the attacks as senseless and ungodly while assuring the people of the state that his government would not rest on its oar in restoring law and order in areas experiencing banditry.
The governor, while donating cash and grains to families of those who lost their lives during the attacks as well as those who lost their properties, urged the residents to report any suspected informant in their midst and cooperate with the security operatives deployed to the area.
He also assured that his administration will pay the medical bills of those admitted to the hospital because of the injuries sustained during the attacks.
It was learned that no fewer than 30 persons were on Saturday, killed in three villages in Tangaza local government area by suspected bandits, while also burnt down houses and vehicles in the communities whose offences were their refusal to pay levies imposed on them.
