President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the latest attacks by
bandits in Katsina State in three local government areas that left 47
persons dead.
Reacting to the incident on Sunday, the President
said that he is deeply saddened by the latest development, and called on
Nigerians not to despair because this administration is ever determined
to defeat and crush these criminal elements taking advantage of the
lockdown to attack their victims.
President Buhari said he will not tolerate this large scale killing
of innocent people by the bandits, adding that “in line with my
commitment to security of the people, these attacks will be met with
decisive force.”
The President directed the security agencies not
to rest on their oars or lower their guard which will create a vacuum
for the bandits to strike.
While extending his sympathies to the
families of the victims, he called on the people to show more vigilance
by reporting the activities of criminal elements in their midst.
